The North American Association of Uniform Manufacturers & Distributors (NAUMD) announced the six winners of its Best Dressed Public Safety Awards program. Developed to recognize the vital role uniforms play in law enforcement and public safety, the awards honor both the departments and suppliers of the uniform program.
“The presence of well-uniformed law enforcement professionals in the community reduces anxiety and allows the general public feel safe and secure,” said Richard J. Lerman, President and CEO of the NAUMD.
“A professionally created public safety uniform program consists of a well-designed set of garments and accessories that improves both the image and overall comfort of those who proudly wear them. New technologies, fabric enhancements and innovation in design and composition are keys to being judged the best of the best.”
Winners were selected by a panel of independent judges composed of industry and apparel experts, and will be recognized this evening during the NAUMD Awards Dinner in Las Vegas as part of the NAUMD’s 2014 “Winning Strategic Alliances” Convention & Exposition at Bally’s Las Vegas.
