Underrated police reform is banning their uniforms from looking "cool", "tactical," or threatening. You'll look like Barney Fife, and you'll be happy.

Like Barn in the episode where he had difficulty properly handling his firearm, so Sheriff Anj limited his ammo supply. Goober was singin’ about the “Depitty that got a bullet in his pocket…”

We already sort of do this. NYPD trigger pull weight is a meme in some circles.

Traffic accidents are a major reason for police injuries and deaths, so all police uniforms should be neon yellow.

Two-tone high-visibility with retro-reflective tape. Seriously: just add the words Police to the front and back of this outfit.

State Troopers are generally more professional, and I maintain a big part of the reason beyond the added training is that they mostly still wear the Barney Fife outfits, with an added touch of a silly color. E.g. the purple tie and piping on NYS Troopers

Detectives should look professional, but not intimidating. Colombo is the model here.
