The new vests will provide officers with a better, more comfortable fit than the previous style. With the better fit and quality, officers will have better mobility when performing tasks on patrol and longer lasting uniform conditions.

Our club supports our local law enforcement and first responders. We have donated to the Golden Meadow Police Department new bulletproof vests and carriers. Pictured are President Frank Boura and Chief Michelle Lafont.
