Chester Keene remembers a morning when he was working in the Bailiff's Bureau of the CCSO. One of the Deputies had showed up for work in sunglasses. Seems they were required by his eye doctor because he'd had a minor procedure. He took his place in the jury box where all the other Bailiffs were awaiting their court assignments for the day.
The Lieutenant, upon entering the room, spotted the glasses immediately.
"What's with the shades?" he said, "We all wear uniforms in this outfit. And they're called that for a reason. It means we are all dressed the same: uniform. Get it?"
The bespectacled Bailiff explained why he was wearing them and the Lieutenant responded with a non-apologetic grunt. This rude abruptness caused the other Bailiffs to suspect that their supervisor's personnel skills needed a little touching up. And they decided to do just that.

The next morning, at roll call, every Bailiff wore a pair of shades. And when the Lieutenant arrived he found, just as he had demanded, each Deputy uniformly attired.
The photograph of this fashion statement is above, taken by Chester whose vacant chair is visible in the middle. He said the picture would have been a little better but his shades got in the way.
