BACKGROUND:
The Naperville Police Department (PD) provides uniforms for the Chief of Police, deputy chiefs, commanders, sergeants, police officers, community service officers, detention officers, animal control officers, PSAP, and other specialized civilian personnel. Uniforms, equipment, and footwear are supplied to new hires as well as approved replacements for current staff. Replacement items for current staff are reviewed through a two-tiered process and must be approved based on need by the employee's supervisor and by the Professional Development and Training Unit. The Police Department's uniform dress code is outlined in departmental general orders and respective collective bargaining agreements. Employees are responsible for the cleanliness and appearance of their uniforms as well as the maintenance of their equipment.
In December 2017, City Council approved the recommendation to award Contract 17-219 for the purchase of Police and Fire public safety uniforms. The original term will expire on December 31, 2019. The PD had a number of issues obtaining items from Ray O'Herron Company and chose not to exercise the option to extend the contract.

Some examples of items include but are not limited to the following: uniform shirts and pants, jackets (rain and cold gear), footwear, duty belts and accessories for belts.
