6. Discussion and Background
Police employees are required to wear a uniform to be identified as a law enforcement authority in society and a source of assistance in an emergency, crisis, or other time of need. New officers and office staff are initially issued two types of uniforms for wear. Worn or damaged items are replaced on an annual or as-needed basis. Specialized units such as Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT), Motor Officers, K9, and Bicycle Patrol are issued different uniforms specific to their unit.
The Orange Police Department currently purchases uniforms and duty gear from Galls, LLC (Galls). Galls is headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky and currently maintains a retail location within proximity to the Orange Police Department which minimizes personnel driving time for pickups and scheduled fittings. As the largest distributor of uniforms and equipment to public safety personnel, Galls offers an extensive selection of products and brands, competitive pricing, convenient online ordering, and alteration services to meet the department’s needs. The most cost-effective purchase price could be obtained through a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement between Galls and the City of Anaheim, Master Agreement No. 106-498488.
The Police Department is requesting the continuation of uniforms from Galls for a total amount of $130,000.
