Those Lettered Jackets

The first time I saw one I believe I was watching some incredible film like "Die Hard" or worse.
The jackets said: "FBI" or "S.W.A.T" or "POLICE". I always wondered if they are this generations equivilant of wearing a white hat. Should we get jackets for the bad guys and mark them "CRIMINAL"?

I was pulling into one of the assisted living places. I saw this unassuming car and an equally unassuming man standing beside it. I saw the House Mother looking somewhat disturbed.
He turned to get in his car.

"CORONER"

And did the House Mom go inside after he drove off? No she hung around the mailbox the outside mailbox looking perplexed. I guess I could have walked over and asked her something inane to launch her into her story. But somehow, I just could not make myself do it.
