New York's finest to be a little neater

NEW YORK — The city's police have been told to get a little more uniform -- it's goodbye to goatees, chinstrap beards and designer hair affectations more suitable for, well, designers.

A Jan. 8 memo clarifies a regulation that says officers are not allowed goatees, chinstrap beards (think Abraham Lincoln) or other "designer beards."

New York officers are allowed to have mustaches -- including Chief Joe Esposito -- and undercover officers can pretty much do whatever they want when it comes to facial hair.

The Chicago look: Chicago police have had a longstanding policy prohibiting facial hair, except for moustaches. Exceptions are made for those with medical conditions or working undercover. Rules since at least 1998 say moustaches should "not ... be excessively bushy, rolled or curled."

I'm not shaving, I'm not cutting my hair, and I have tribal tattoos. My spandex pants look better than your BDU's so you have to hire me.

You guys are just old...
