What law enforcement agency allows blue jeans on duty ? Real cops? Or ORD rent a cops?

Ten minutes after being dragged off the plane he gets back on ?

What real cops practice "Catch and Release"?
With regards to the blue jeans, I imagine an airport the size of ORD has a fair few "plain clothed" police officers on duty, which would explain the dress code. They are still on duty and can step in if needed, no reason to assume they were not real cops.
