Summary & BackgroundThe Police Department requests approval to award a contract with Smyrna Police Distributors to provide uniforms, footwear, and duty gear for police personnel.


Scope of Work: Smyrna Police Distributors will provide uniforms, footwear, and duty gear for police personnel. Smyrna Police Distributors has a local retail facility that can custom fit uniforms and maintains a large inventory of items and can quickly respond to departmental requirements.
