5.11 Tactical:
Working hard to deliver the best
solutions for the NT Police
Arrival in the Top End is always an exciting time
for me. Last month I made my third trip to the
Northern Territory, and each time I feel more at
home. As the Managing Director for 5.11 Australia
I have been lucky enough to travel to most of the
regions of this vast continent , working with police
and fire agencies, and yours is without a doubt one
of my favourites to visit.
As soon as we arrived at Darwin International Airport
we saw two NT Police Officers. I can say with truth and
pride that the police officers of the Northern Territory
are one of the most professionally dressed departments
I have encountered.
NT Police Officers: a commanding presence
Of course I am swayed by my passion and connection
to the 5.11 Brand but there is something more. I believe
that the general public’s first impression of a police
officer is critical in how an encounter will play out. The
uniforms being worn by the NT Police creates an air
of command presence and I am proud that it a 5.11
Uniform that does that for H??X?K????? \?H \??\?? ?] H??\???\??]?H?X?B?\?H??Y\?]?[????[Y[???X?\?[? ?[[?H ] ?????][??H[H?Y[? H]?\?H?
