The Phoenix Police Department, serving over 1.6 million residents across 500 square miles, introduced the Flying Cross Power Flex uniform to address the city’s extreme desert climate and the demands of modern policing. Designed for more than 2,500 sworn officers, the Power Flex uniform uses 100% low-sheen knit polyester with engineered stretch fibers, providing maximum mobility, breathability, and rapid drying.
At 6.0 oz., the fabric delivers a professional appearance while remaining lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, and odor-resistant—without chemical treatments or PFAS.
Following a 9-month wear test through Arizona’s harsh summers and cooler winters, the department praised the uniform’s comfort, versatility, and low maintenance. Officers report feeling cooler, more comfortable, and confident in this new class-wear approved option.
