Trekkie police chief bans goatees on cops

The Urbana Ohio police department has officers upset over a new revision to the uniform policy. The chief is banning goatees on his officers. The reason. Goatees denote evil.

Goatees = Evil?

The chief is quoted as stating. “Anyone who has seen Star Trek knows that goatees are an indicator of evil. In the episode called ‘mirror mirror, season 2 episode 4, captain Kirk and some of his crew end up in a mirror universe. Spock in that universe has a goatee, well actually a Van Dyke, but people often confuse them. Spock in that universe is pure evil.”

In addition the Chief wants everyone to know. “I have nothing against facial hair. You can still have a cop mustache or full beard. As a matter of fact look at William Riker from Star Trek: The Next Generation, he had a full beard and was a heck of a good leader.”

The policy was announced last night and will go into effect on Monday.

Police union representatives did not have any comment on the issue at this time.
