We've also added CHIEF Grants, providing public safety departments free grants consulting from a seasoned pro and an extensive website chocked full of resources. Our grants consultant is available 12 hours a day, 5 days a week to help you apply for the over $1 billion in grant funding out there. Since March, he's already helped hundreds of departments apply for over $5 million.

We're also More Responsive when you need help with an order. We've greatly expanded our sales team, stepped up training extensively, and we're eager to offer you personal attention and the best customer service in the business. Call (888) 588-8569 today to meet your new personal account rep, and see below for what our customers are saying about the new CHIEF.


WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE CHIEF?
Our latest catalog features 10 real first responders modeling our gear. The models were winners of our previous "Are You Photogenic?" contest and did a great job showing off the gear. Now we're upping the ante with "Who's Your Favorite Chief?"

Who do you trust and respect most? Maybe someone who's been a great teacher, or even a great teacher and a real character! We'd like to feature your favorite Chief as a model in our next catalog. Tell us what you most appreciate about your favorite Chief and upload a picture at our website. Winners will be contacted in the fall of 2004, but don't delay with your submission.

FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

Regina is pleasant to deal with and has always followed through on the orders and our service needs when exchanges or other issues might have arisen. I want to thank you for having a service rep with her knowledge and expertise on equipment. I wish that other vendors had the same quality of staff to deal with!"
