    Ever heard of the “gray-clad riders?” That’s how newspapers and the public referred to the New York State Police (NYSP) when the force was first established in 1917. For over 100 years, the men and women of the NYSP have proudly worn gray, symbolizing their neutrality and the impartiality of justice. The purple tie and band around their Stetson hats pays homage to the Praetorian Guard—the elite bodyguard of the Roman emperors. The black stripe on the side of their pants honors their fallen members. LION is proud to equip the New York State Police with their daily duty uniform, ensuring they can carry out their duties in comfort (and style). Photo Credit: New York State Police

    LION is proud to have supported the fire service in renewing the Fire Act and SAFER grant programs. These programs provide essential federal funds for fire department equipment and staffing, efficiently helping local communities meet their public safety priorities.

    🚨 Breaking News 🚨 The Senate has approved S. 870, the Fire Grants and Safety Act by a vote of 88-2. This important legislation reauthorizes not only the vitally important AFG and SAFER grant programs but also the United States Fire Administration. The bill now goes to President Biden to be signed into law. The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation is grateful to both the House and the Senate—especially the members of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus—not only for passing this critical legislation but for their continued support of America’s fire and emergency services. We also thank the many members of the fire service from across the country who took the time to call, email, and meet with their members of Congress urging them to save these critical programs. Your advocacy truly made a difference. #firehero

    MY FIRST 10 WEEKS: JAIMEE GROVES, SENIOR PPE SOURCING DIRECTOR "I have felt so welcomed from the moment I accepted the offer to become a member of the LION team and every day after that. I have embraced the LION core belief of "Learning from Everyone and Everything" at every turn by: attending my first FDIC, where I had the opportunity to get a great overview of this industry and all it has to offer to the first responders community, observing the passion from the sales organization at a business unit meeting, and joining first Operations summit where we got to hear of the exciting results and new plans on the horizon to continue collaborating to deliver solutions to strengthen and support the LION organization. Every day I am so thankful that LION chose me, and I chose LION to help support the efforts of protecting those that protect us every day." ~ Jaimee Groves, Senior Director Strategic Sourcing

    Happy Flag Day! On this day in 1777, the Continental Congress approved the design of our national flag.
