The goal of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department was to put their deputies in a lightweight, durable uniform that worked well in the streets of Orlando, Walt Disney World and the more rural areas of Orange County. The department turned to their uniform supplier, Galls LLC, to meet this goal.

If you’ve been to Florida in the summer, you know it can be excruciatingly hot. Lightweight, breathable uniforms are a must.  This 2,700-member department did an extensive wear test before selecting the Blauer Flex RS distributed by Galls. Manufactured from lightweight, low-profile ripstop material, the uniforms are a perfect fit for the warmer climate of central Florida. Colored in the department’s traditional spruce green, the uniforms also include moisture-wicking features for comfort. 

Galls also assisted with the uniform rollout, providing a staff member to assist deputies with sizing options. Galls also worked with the department to sort and distribute each uniform to the proper deputy.
