    Italian Policewomen Get High Heels


    Italy's 14,750 female police officers felt delighted when their new high-heeled shoes arrived.

    In Italy, the land of fashion and elegance, it's only natural that public officials want to look good too.
    And so the Italian police ordered high heeled-shoes for its 14,750 female police officers, who wanted to
    give their uniform a younger and sexier look.

    Never mind the shoes ... have you seen the size of the key the policewoman is standing in front of? It's HUGE!

    I'm sure the high heels really help in a foot pursuit, or a takedown.

    Haha. I'd love to see them run on those things over cobblestones.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,212 ✭✭✭✭Tom Dunne


    Hmmmm, very nice. I think I'll go on a crime spree in Rome.

    I'd love to see them do something else. With lesbians. And body lotion <_<

    I like the suggestion about lesbians but this sounds like it belongs in the wimmins forum to be honest.

    How would they chase anyone? I couldn't even walk in them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,354 ✭✭✭smellslikeshoes


    Jesus doesn't look like they thought that through.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,429 ✭✭✭✭star-pants


    It doesn't really surprise me that much, from what my sister (who lives in Rome) has said about the Italians, they take fashion first (most of).

    They are girls, girls can't run anyhow.

    Also they are police, wimmin police don't chase people, they direct traffic, albeit badly.

    :cool:

    Not in my head they don't. Especially if they look like that.

    Her male partner does the foot pursuit part, she totters behind and finishes the takedown with a heel in the balls.
    The Italian cops really take their fashion seriously, last time I was in Rome I saw two detectives who looked like they just came off the catwalk. Talk about hot, only country I've ever wanted to be arrested in.

    I'd like her to get her handcuffs out.

    I was waiting on my train this morning and laughed at 2 guys on the other platform running for the train, both had the stupidist looking runs ever!!


    Back on topic - heels will be handy for eye gauging and ball bursting!

    Ah, women in uniform.....she looks nice alright. :)

    That picture is actually from Eastern Europe, I can't remember exactly which country but I'm 100% certain of it.

    You mean there is more than one country that has hot female police officers? :eek:

    I wonder if we tried to tart up a few of our "hot" Ban Gardai how it would go down? The Joe Duffy show would go into overdrive, I am sure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,039 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori


    There is Tom there is. :D

    Ohh have you ever looked on After Hours at the amount of threads complaining about Irish wimmins for various reasons. Well they complain alot is one thing often mentioned in these threads, can you imagine the ladies in the police force being TOLD that they have to wear high heels................ ooohhh my ears are burning at just the thought of it.

    Edit: Just found the picture. I am sooo sad I know:

    Well in fairness I can imagine it but would you want too? There are a few differences between the Ukranian ladies and the lassies in Templemore.

    Here's hoping now that they're trying to open up the force to our new immigrants rather than provincial GAH accolytes.

    I would step out of any veh-hick-el for that.

    I'd step out of the vehickle, put on the hand-cuffs and submit to a strip-search there and then.

    Ew, scrunchies. That cameraman looks like he's bowled over with laughter.

    We could learn a lot from our Ukrainian brothers. For example here is their
    current Prime Minister, Yulia Timoshenko

    I think he's overwhelmed by the new overlords...sorry overladies....and he's genuflecting.

    The Italians have gone one better and outfitted their cops with a Lamborghini for pursiut and rescue...

    There used to be a great gallery of military and police babes going around in e-mails a few years ago.
    Anyone else see it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,179 ✭✭✭FunkZ


    That's one fine policewomen.

    I think it's time we break into the Colloseum and intentionally set off a few alarms? ;D

    The shoes are definitely not standard issue, because they are all not the same.

    I see court shoes, sabrina heels, t-bars, ankle straps and mary janes. Even a pair of slingbacks in there. :)

    Still very nice though.

    Women's shoes, hmmmm, nothing. I thought DeVore had something in there about stilettos. Must be under something else.

    I think it was these sort of stilettos DeV ruled on. Try the section on the Limerick forum.
