Police officials in San Bernardino, Calif. say they made a mistake when they required officer Jessica Lopez to enroll in an "etiquette" class where she was instructed to wear lipstick and expensive jewelry, ask permission before joining a conversation, and "walk like a princess."
The training "had nothing to do with my position as a police officer," Lopez complained.
Lopez's boss, Donald F. Averill, said the mix-up occurred beacuse a police lieutenant "failed to properly research the kinds of services provided by" the training company. The lieutenant is no longer with the force, Averill noted.
