Lexington, Ken. (August 2024) – GALLS, LLC®, the nation’s leading supplier serving America’s public safety and military professionals, is excited to announce the launch of Galls Customized Uniforms™ (GCU), the first digital uniform ordering solution built specifically for small and rural public safety agencies, set to transform the way these agencies manage their uniform needs. Designed to address the unique challenges faced by these agencies, GCU offers a seamless, all-in-one platform for designing, managing, and ordering customized uniforms.
Almost half (46 percent) of all local police departments (11,800) employ fewer than ten full-time equivalent sworn officers (Bureau of Justice 11-22 NCJ 305187). Small and rural public safety agencies often struggle with the time-consuming and frustrating process of ordering customized uniforms. Chiefs and their staff spend countless hours navigating uniform manufacturers’ call centers, dealing with long lead times, and managing the logistics of local uniform customization. These inefficiencies not only lead to frustration and higher costs but also take public safety heroes away from their primary mission of protecting the community.
GCU is designed to eliminate these pain points by simplifying and streamlining the entire uniform management process, offering small and rural agencies a comprehensive, in-house solution that eliminates the hassle of dealing with multiple vendors. With GCU, command staff can now fully customize, manage, and order uniforms directly from GALLS, ensuring that their officers are always equipped with the best gear to serve their communities. This cost effective and user-friendly solution will save agencies valuable time and effort.
“At GALLS, we understand the unique challenges faced by small and rural agencies, and we are committed to supporting them in every way we can,” said Katherine Pesik, Vice President, Digital Products at GALLS. “Galls Customized Uniforms is a testament to our dedication to public safety heroes, providing a free and efficient solution that saves time, reduces complexity, and ensures that officers can focus on what matters most – protecting their communities.”
Galls Customized Uniforms offers a suite of features designed to meet the specific needs of small and rural agencies. With this platform, agencies can easily set up and manage custom uniform profiles, tailoring uniforms for every rank and unit using a curated selection of top-selling styles. The personalization process allows departments to digitize and save custom patches or emblems for future orders, ensuring consistency and professionalism across the board.
Ordering is made simple, with officers able to place orders for their fully customized uniforms with just a few clicks and have them shipped within seven to 10 days. Galls also guarantee the availability of in-stock uniforms from trusted brands, ensuring that orders are fulfilled quickly and accurately.
Best of all, this digital solution is provided at no cost, making it a budget-friendly option for small and rural departments.
Beta testers of the Galls Customized Uniforms platform have praised its intuitive design, ease of use, and the overall improvement it brings to the uniform ordering process. One tester noted, "I truly appreciate that Galls continues to help small agencies and supports police even on small orders. I completely understand that there isn’t a large profit to be made from small agencies but GALLS continues to enhance their customer service.”
Another shared, "Navigation was very intuitive, easy to utilize." The platform received high marks for overall satisfaction (9.30), ease of navigation (9.60), and visual appeal of the uniform builder (9.70).
