Alvin Cops

Every day Alvin police officers put their lives on the line to protect you and me. What protects them from a bad guys bullet is equipment. By partnering with Alvin COPS, you can protect those that are protecting you! Every patrol officer carries approximately 20 pounds of gear with them all day long. Such equipment includes things like a bullet pro... of vest, radio, firearm, tazer, handcuffs, flashlight, baton, duty belt and holsters. Some of this equipment is department issued (like the vest and radio) while much of it is not (like the belt, holsters, cuffs, etc.) so the officers have to purchase this equipment themselves and are required to keep their personal equipment in presentable working order. Each new officer has to purchase their personal equipment and spends on average about $1,000 before they even start the job. Holsters alone can run as much as $300 for standard duty weapons. Alvin COPS seeks to provide new officers with standard duty gear, enabling them to be fully equipped with support from the community. In addition, we provide support for existing officers who may, in the line of duty, damage their equipment that requires replacement in order to be reliable and safe, as well as specialized tools to the police department which help keep our community safe and secure. Considering what they do for us daily, this is a small token of our appreciation! DISCLAIMER: while Alvin COPS does work closely with the Alvin Police Department, we are a wholly independent organization.
