With help from Caplan’s, this 2022 Best Dressed Public Safety Department® winner upgraded their officers to the FlexRS line from Blauer. While the styling is similar, the colors are slightly darker, giving the department a cleaner and more polished appearance.
There are, of course, several important enhancements to the uniform program besides appearance. . First is the FlexRS moisture management fabric, an improvement that allows officers to stay cool and dry, even in Louisiana.
Most importantly, the new uniforms include a MOLLE option, a system often requested from officers who suffer from back and hip issues due to the weight of the duty belt. With the FlexRS vest carrier, officers are able to take the load off their back and put it on their chest and have a more balanced load.
