This North Carolina-based agency is a suburb of Raleigh/Durham. A small department – their sworn officers total 75 – Garner was in search of a new patrol uniform that was both professional in appearance and functional for modern police work.  

Enter Galls, the department’s uniform supplier.  After mulling over options, the Core STAT uniform by Flying Cross was selected for its ability to achieve both goals. During wear tests, officers discovered that the uniform breathed just as well if not better than a traditional cotton or wool blend that they were used to. Best of all, the 96%4% Poly/spandex weave is capable of withstanding the rigors of the job while maintaining a court-approved Class A uniform look.

Every department member received at least one full uniform set; investigations and K9 were issued two sets, while patrol received three during roll out. 

The entry process for the 2024 Best Dressed Public Safety Department Competition, as well as NAUMD’s other recognition programs will open late fall.  Check the website and keep reading The Pulse for updates, or contact rick.levine@naumd.com to learn more.
