Hatch Centurion™ Disturbance Gear Receives Rave Reviews from Columbus P.D.
By Press Release
Published: 05/09/2003

Oxnard, CA, January 9, 2003 - Recent campus riots in Columbus, Ohio gave the Columbus Police Department an opportunity to debut their newly purchased civil disturbance equipment, including 1800 sets of Centurion Disturbance Gear from Hatch. Each set consisted of a CPX1000 chest and shoulder protector, FP100 forearm guards and TS65 hard-shell shin guards.

Centurion™ civil disturbance gear has been quite popular among departments, due to its light weight, ample mobility and cost-effectiveness. In an article printed in the Columbus Dispatch, these sentiments were echoed by members of the Columbus P.D.

'It seemed a little bulky at first, and we all stood around and made jokes. But once we got into battle, I wouldn't go back without it,' stated Sgt. Kenneth Marcum.

Lt. Jeff Puls remarked, 'There's no doubt it made a difference with the bottles we were taking out there.'

No officers reported any injuries during the rioting.
