LEXINGTON, Ky., May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GALLS^®, the trusted source for uniforms and essential equipment for America's public safety professionals, has been honored with three Best Dressed Public Safety Department Awards at the annual NAUMD conference. Recognized alongside the Atlanta Police Department, the Philadelphia Police Department, and the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office, GALLS^® demonstrated an unwavering commitment to outfitting first responders with robust, specialized apparel that supports rapid deployment and effective scene control in dynamic environments.

For emergency response professionals facing high-pressure situations, reliable equipment is vital. GALLS^® partnered with these leading agencies to deliver modernized uniform solutions that balance authoritative appearance with tactical functionality, ensuring seamless operation and quick decision-making in the field.

The NAUMD recognized GALLS^® for its dedicated service and innovative solutions across the following agencies:

• Atlanta Police Department (Police Department Category): In preparation for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, GALLS^® and LION/Elbeco outfitted approximately 1,800 sworn officers with a high-visibility uniform program. The modernized duty shirts and trousers ensure officers are instantly recognizable in large crowds, providing immediate response capabilities and clear identification during this major international event.
  
  
• Philadelphia Police Department (Police Department Category): Partnering with LION/Elbeco, GALLS^® facilitated the department's transition from the traditional powder-blue uniform to a crisp midnight-navy uniform. This comprehensive modernization equips nearly 2,000 officers with darker, highly durable garments that conceal stains and reinforce a professional, authoritative presence essential for secure and efficient urban scene control.
  
  
• Fairfax County Sheriff's Office (Sheriff Department Category): GALLS^® modernized the uniform system for over 400 sworn deputies, introducing a Tundra Green-and-black color palette. Utilizing the Blauer FlexRS system, these versatile utility and Class B uniforms provide exceptional mobility and breathability, supporting seamless inter-agency coordination and tactical readiness across varied operational environments.

GALLS^® CEO Mike Fadden stated, "Winning these three NAUMD awards highlights our ability to outfit multi-disciplinary teams with the state-of-the-art gear they need to secure their communities, coordinate successfully, and return home safely.
