I want to take just a few lines to thank you for helping to bring a new shield to our organization. About a year ago we decided to redesign our shields. The shields we decided on were of a family from our executive director to our basic EMT. A few weeks ago we received the first of our shields from your company. I wore this shield to meeting in Washington DC, the shield was noticed by some of the participants and many compliments were passed on its design. Once again, thank you for helping to design a shield with professionalism and quality.

I just want to let you know that the customs both arrived last night. The anticipation was killing me, but when I finally opened the box and got a look at them, it took my breath away. This was six years in the making for me, and it's finally been realized, so thank you. The quality is legitimately superb.

\n

Seriously. The quality of THIS shield even surpasses all of the PREVIOUS Smith & Warren shields that I have purchased, and that says a very lot.

Again, thank you both, very much. I'll definitely be ordering a few more of these bad boys.

I picked up the badge I ordered from my police supply dealer a few days ago. All I can say is, wow!!! Even though they are a Smith & Warren dealer, everyone commented on how beautiful the selection I decided on actually turned out. Very detailed. It was the M261D, Sil-Ray & Gold-Ray Panels and full color state seal. A nice selling point of the product was the warranty. I look forward to many years of use from this finely crafted product.

Keep up the good work!!

I ordered another badge this past August and I wanted to share my great experience with Smith & Warren once again.
 
Recently, while attending courses to become a certified negotiator, I was approached by the director of the International Association of Hostage Negotiators to become their chaplain.  We were going to announce my acceptance of this role at our certification presentation at the end of our last class on Sept. 14th.
 
I wanted to order my new badge reflecting my new affiliation with I.A.H.N. and wear my badge the last day (graduation) but.... I was only given about 2 1/2 weeks for my order.  Hmm.  Never hurts to ask...  I ordered through EPoliceSupply.Com once again and added a simple note requesting \"any rush, if possible, would be appreciated so I could have it for my certification class and if not, then I understood it takes time for a custom made badge.\"
 
In the mail, without special postage, I found my new gold with silver badge waiting for me in plenty of time before I left for my last seminar in Topeka for my certification.
 
I know that service this fast is never promised, as each order is custom.  I sure didn't expect to have my new badge in half the time it normally takes; especially having silver panels over a gold star.
  
Thank you for going above and beyond.  Smith & Warren delivers consistant, exceptional workmanship.  Your customer service is personal and unparalleled.  Smith & Warren is a superior company in a business world of extremely high competition.  As an officer and consumer, I appreciate your service and will be a lifetime customer.  I will always recommend Smith & Warren and only Smith & Warren.

Enter Lee Galperin, my excellent Sales Rep (Smith & Warren) and Bryan Lynch, my Account Rep from Gall's. Together, they were able to expedite the order for the badges to my specifications. No hassles, no worries! Lee was also able, with the help of Karen Yanez (Smith & Warren), to drop ship the badges overnight to the police academy. All in time for the graduation. Actually, with time to spare!
 
You can probably guess where I'll be looking first, next time, for badges. Terrific service and experience! Thanks again!
", "Content_Plain" : "Triple A+ score for Smith & Warren! I recently discovered that 4 police badges I had set aside for an upcoming police officer graduating class had the wrong numbers on them. With only two weeks until the graduation, I didn't have enough time to ship them back to the other manufacturer for replacement. Nor was there time for them to re-ship my order correctly.

After reading some testimonials on the company I felt compelled to write. Many of the remarks were my feelings all along, but I realized that I had probably not made the folks at S&W aware. You guys truly are special. When I met Helena at SHOT show New Orleans a few years ago, my booth visit was short but long lasting- I'm still a customer! That attitude of service that was projected that day has never changed-only grown better. What a CAN-DO company from the top on down-not a slacker in the bunch, and a great product to boot! Thanks to Helena, Dawn & Lee, as well as all the crew behind the scenes that I may never know- we salute you.
P.S. - I left out comments about the dealer web-site.
