Best Police Officer Uniform For Genesis

I'm looking for a good cop uniform for Genesis males and females, offering as many choices/morphs as possible, and props galore (if possible). Sadly, there appears to be only one police uniform set available for G1. In fact, it's the only unisex cop set for any figure:

Unfortunately, all the unformed officers look like they're wearing spandex. Accessories are limited, and this set doesn't even come with a police cap!

My alternatives:

Texturing is much better here, with more props, including handcuffs, but unfortunately this package is only an add-on, requiring a second, pricier purchase (Security for Genesis 2 Males) for everything to work. Also, as the title indicates, it's male only, with no Vicki morphs.

Other choices:

The included props are okay, but the uniforms themselves -- well, let's say they leave much to be desired. Personally I find Predatron's Lo-Rez Police to be much more striking in appearance, and those are after all, well, low-resolution.

Last but by no means least:

Surprisingly, these uniforms might be my favorites of the lot. Clothing and textures are spot on (IMHO). Props are plentiful, though it appears the utility belt is one single prop (i.e.., walkie-talkie does not detach.) Major drawbacks: this is an old M3/D3 set from years back, and once again, there are no equivalent Vicki morphs.

My question, then: are there any other packages out there that I've missed? Also, if you own one of the non G1 uniform sets, how well do the clothes and props auto-fit to the Genesis figure (M5 and V5)?

    Security! specifically has a chest bridger morph to help when autofitting it to females (which is why there's chest bridging on women in the promos). I'm not apologizing for the price, though. The reason you don't see many cop outfits is that doing all the pieces and accessories is incredibly involved, and since it's no longer new, that set goes on sale often (the recent 40% coupon would've worked on it, for instance).

    No need to apologize for the pricing. It's just that I've bought so much from DAZ over the past few months that my wallet's not as bulgy as it used to be, if you know what I mean. :-)

    Anyway, thanks for the quick response. If I may ask, how well does Security! work with female hour glass shapes?

    No problem! Here it is on Olympia. Of course if you have DD plus characters you'd need one or more of the Smoother products.

    Looks sweet.

    BTW, how did you render patches/badges in your bundles? Are they simply textures plus bump maps, or are the patch/badge shapes part of the actual clothing morph?

    (This would be handy to know in case I wanted to make personalized tweaks.)

    The patches and badges are separate conformers that are set up to conform to the clothing itself. I did this deliberately so that they could be customized. The name badge in front that is blank in my render may be a smartprop (it's not in front of me atm). Either way, none of them are part of the shirt.

    There are no really good law enforcement wardrobes available IMO. You could kit bash and modify textures and whatnot to get there though, this isn't really ideal in a world where you can purchase most things.

    Hardest part is finding a decent badge.

    Military uniforms are also lacking without a lot of kit bashing and modifying as well.

    Now if you want to play in the fantasy realm, or some older period piece, you'll find sooooo much stuff readily available that is awesome.

    I wish I had the knowledge to model, still learning ZBrush.
