That's NOT a "realistic" Police Woman Outfit

It started so well, then BAM! buttoned down shirt. I'm pretty sure every police department in the country has regulations that the shirt must be buttoned up.
What's the point? It's not sexy enough to be a Halloween police woman costume but completely unusable to anyone who wants an actually realistic one.

Totally agree, it is very hard to find a half decent police officer uniform or any uniform for that matter.. That does not make the character look like they came from one of those services that are used for bucks nights or bacherlorette parties..
The only decent police officer uniform here is the https://www.daz3d.com/h-c-police-uniform-for-genesis-3-male-s..
It does get really annoying when looking for proper uniforms, only to be met with clothing that no fire fighter, nurse, doctor or police officer would wear..
This is a good uniform: https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-police-officer-outfit-for-genesis-8-females
But yeah, most unifroms, especially for women are ridiculous.
You're expecting something realistic from DAZ? But yeah, a morph to close the top buttons and a tie option would have made this a lot better. My big disappointment, though, is that it looks like the badge is part of the shirt mesh, so it'll probably distort noticeably.
Yeah, it's sad that IH Kang seems to have stopped releasing new products, as they were one of the few vendors who could really nail uniforms. That said, there are some older V4 ones that aren't bad, like https://www.daz3d.com/real-world-heroes-police-officer-v4-a4-g4 and Sickleyield's Security/Police set is the only thing I've seen that actually has a jacket.
Yeah IH Kang does great work that is for sure, and yes there are some other good ones but I would say IH Kangs https://www.daz3d.com/h-c-police-uniform-for-genesis-3-male-s is the best of the newer generation products.. The image below is what most police officers wear now a days.. Either way I just can't seem to work out why most uniform products sold here and other sites, are designed to look like something one would wear for halloween or an adult entertainment establishment..
Except for the badge, which is distorted even in the main promo picture. Not crazy about the hat design either, but that's easy to fix.
I sometimes wonder if PAs actually look thru the store before deciding on a project since this seems like a pointless project given what we have already. Maybe it was just a base outfit they had ready and DAZ asked for a quick police outfit and bam, there you go. I do like the belt though.
Oskarsson has an "Inspector" uniform that autofits adequately to G8F. The tie gets a little wonky, but that can be cleaned up.
Autofit with Male outfits might be best for Genesis 8.
Well, this was obviously made to go with the new police station and I'm surprised there wasn't a matching pose set and a bundle given the vendor. That said, police uniforms vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, city to city, state to state, and country to country, so having a variety to choose from so that you can mix and match isn't a bad thing at all. that pretty much goes for any kind of uniform, so I see having multiple soldiers, work suits, etc. as a good thing. What is bothersome is seeing the same mistakes repeated again and again, like making "metal" badges part of the shirt mesh, especially on dForce outfits. Not only does it not work well, but I can't even see how it would have been any easier to do it that way.
Police uniforms differ a lot from country to country, and may change regularly, so generic uniforms may sell better. I mean, I'd find an US uniform misleading in a local context as I'm not in the US, so a generic one would be better here.
After the release of Now-Crowd Billboards for Emergency Medical Services & for Firefighters that we didn't see a Police version released at the same time as FG's Police Station is puzzling; it would have been a perfectly timed themed release.
Kind of ignoring the RCMP there, and it's certainly not all the same across the U.S. by a long shot. I live in Houston Texas and just within our general area we have something like 40 different police orgainizations that you're liable to see driving by in a single day from the Texas Highway Patrol, Houston Police, Harris County Constables, Metro Police, Texas Rangers, US Marshalls, the Port Police, DPS, plus campus police for at least a dozen different universities and multiple incorporated town that have their own small Police departments. Many of them are similar, but many are not, and it's not uncomon to see a Marshal and a Sheriff pulled up alongside the HPD or constables. I just grabbed a few images to show some of the variety but I hit the load limit at 6 images so I tried to get the widest visual range.. (edit - just noticed that one of them is actually from Virginia, but wa\e have a service that wears an almost identical uniform.)
This outfit covers some of the other agencies, but we could use more.

I have never seen police walking around in public on patrol, in Canada and USA, without body armor, but I have not made regular trips in USA west of LA, AR, MO, IA, and MN. All of the pictures you posted are photo-ops for PR.
just post male as well as female police in suspenders and all with be right with the world

The reason I used photo ops is that I consider it to be in questionable taste at best to show cops in the process of arresting someone when I don't know the full details of the story, and that's usually the only time you'll see a picture of a police officer. Go to any police uniform supply shop like https://www.galls.com/ and you'll see most uniforms are available in variants of black, navy, grey, tan and green, and body armor usually consists of a vest that is worn over the exisiting uniform, so the basic color patterns of a uniform won't change... and, of course, they're not going to be wearing armor at all times. Generally speaking, you'll see city police wearing black, dark blue or grey, while highway and rural focused police are more likely to wear tan, khaki or green, depending on the area, (because a - it doesn't get as hot and b. it's harder to be seen in if you have to hide on the side of the road if someone decides to shoot at you.) In an area like Houston, though, where we have so many different departments all working in such close proximity, there needs to be a way for officers to immediately identify visually which other groups are responding to an incident, hence all the different stripe, hat and color burst variants.
Cop on the right - someone forgot to pose his arms. :P
He's trying to remember how long a piece of wood he needs is. :)
Sorry, really old joke but I couldn't resist.
Yeah, I use that one a lot for pieces as it and it's base set are one of the few that really cover all the seperate elements like full badges and belt accessories and multiple choices of headwear. It's not the best for female characters unfortunately, as the sculpted folds in the pants and front of the body armor come out a little funky.
You could try the RSSY Converter over autofit if you have it.
I live in the Northeast US and I have never seen a police officer in my town doing their daily grind in full body armor. They all wear vests under their uniform, but I wouldn't count that as full body armor...especially since you can't see it short of them appearing a bit bulkier on top than if they were wearing just their shirt. The example shots to me are mostly accurate for any police force I've seen, whether it be local PD or state PD (state PD are the ones who wear the "mounty" hats).
I really don't, as a rule, but it says in the description: "The FG Police Woman Outfit is a high quality and realistic police woman outfit."
Mounties don't patrol in the red serge if that's what you're thinking. Those are dress uniforms only worn on formal occasions and for stuff like the Musical Ride. What distinguishes RCMP uniforms is a yellow stripe down the pant leg and around the frame. The various provincial and municipal police departments are different again.
There's no accounting for every single variation, so as long as it's got some texture options, anything that's not embarrassing would be welcome. But yeah. This is definitely a stripper cop uniform.
Those are pretty good examples of standard type uniforms pictured above...
Obviously some sort of work was done to the picture (the B&W background)... but what's going on with the guy with the sunglasses on the right...? Looks like he is holding an invisible hero sandwich or something was edited out of his hands.
Unless they first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of their father and, for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, have remained, attached as liaison officer with the Canadian Consulate.
Or spend most of their time rescuing Nell Fenwick from the nefarious hands of Snidley Whiplash. :)
well taking advantage of the talk, what is the "poly count"? of the outfit from the peoples which have bought it?
I don't think anyone in this thread has...
Was that Northern Exposure?
