A big change for North Bay Police officers as they’re sporting a new style of headdress.

A release says the new hat is a ball cap type and they’re going away from the traditional Peak Cap,

Chief Scott Tod says members asked for a new style of hat to be worn while on patrol.

The old Peak Cap was difficult to keep clean and was too large to carry in the patrol vehicles.

Tod says members will continue to wear the Peak Cap when in official dress uniform while attending ceremonial events.
