Wilmington N.C. Motor-Officers Go ATGATT

Wilmington North Carolina Motorcycle Officers are now protected with ATGATT  "All The Gear All The Time"  while on-duty.

The local chapter of the Blue Knights, a group of active and retired law enforcement officers who enjoy riding motorcycles, donated the new riding gear to the department.
 
 
The Riding Gear weigh less, are water proof, and have extra armor in the shoulders, elbows, spine, and knees to protect the officers should they be in an accident.
 
 
"A motorcycle is less visible than a car and the more visibility we give these guys the better the survival rate," said Blue Knights member Jeff Tripp.

The officers are already wearing their new gear on patrol.
Good Move
 
The Morrisville PD in N.C. went with ATGATT back in October 2006.
