Maintaining equipment for local police departments and EMT services can be expensive. Local city or county budgets can change from year to year, with some years being too lean to make it feasible to replace worn equipment. It’s critical that employees take good care of every piece of equipment since it’s hard to know when the budget will allow for replacement.
Investing in specialty cases for your equipment can help protect the city or county’s investment by preventing undue wear and tear on equipment. Equipment that is worn on the bodies of employees is particularly vulnerable to damage that is easily prevented with a specialty case.
There are several companies that specialize in manufacturing specialty cases for law enforcement, safety, and industrial applications. These companies are skilled at creating cases for even the most unusual of equipment. These companies use rugged materials designed for use in the field and are accustomed to making specialty cases and other equipment that meets government regulations for durability and fire safety.
The money you spend on your department’s specialty cases will be money well spent. By putting your equipment in a rugged, specially designed case, you can expect to double or triple the life of the equipment, saving the department thousands in replacement costs.
Talk to a vendor that makes specialty cases before your next department budget meeting. This will allow you to have a good understanding of the costs of outfitting department equipment with cases in the next year. Once you have calculated how much longer your equipment can last by being fitted with a proper case, you’ll quickly see the cost benefits of purchasing the cases.
Specialty cases offer a great way to save your department money, keep equipment protected and make your employees’ jobs easier and safer by ensuring the equipment they need is always at the ready.
