LAFAYETTE, La. — Giles Automotive Group will donate six bulletproof vests to the Eunice Police Department and 10 bulletproof vests to the Erath Police Department on Tuesday, November 5, at 11 a.m.
These agencies will be the newest beneficiary amidst the numerous law enforcement departments throughout Louisiana which have received similar donations from Giles.
Ballistic Vests are vitally important live saving personal protection equipment for officers in the line of duty, and this generous donation by Bob Giles and his auto group brings the total number of bulletproof vests donated up to 190. The equipment will be presented to Anna LaPointe, Chief of Police for the Town of Erath, and Eunice Police Department Chief of Police Kyle LeBouef, along with other members of the department at a Press Conference on Tuesday, November 5 at 11 a.m. at Giles Subaru at 100 Town Center Parkway in Lafayette.
"These officers are our local heroes, and they bravely perform their duties and dedicate themselves to serving the community," said Giles. "I am very grateful for the work they perform day after day. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to provide much needed body armor for local law enforcement agencies in communities that don't have the budget to do so."
Giving back to the community is of utmost importance to Giles, and he encourages other business leaders and community members to give back. The auto group has a campaign called Giles Gives Back which provides support to those in need, brings awareness to community, and spreads the message of giving back. Giles Gives Back has donated 190 bullet proof vests to law enforcement in need, annually donates to Dreams Come True of Louisiana, and regularly helps so many more worthy causes.
This is one of the many reasons he was named the 2022 TIME Dealer of the Year, the most prestigious honor in the automotive industry.
