Black vest cover

According to sources buried deep in the bowels of 35th Street, the Superintendent intends on making the black vest cover an optional equipment item. This has been a point of contention for years with the Inspection Division because it made for an easy mover for them, while the guys on the front lines got sick and tired of having to wash the blue covers every night when they got home or else look like a hobo at roll call and risk getting tagged by the Inspectors again for being dirty. No word yet on a start date for the covers or if it will be some kind of "only with (A) will you wear (B)." We shall see.
