Ptl. David Layne, a 17-year veteran of the Avon, Ohio Police Department, was shocked and grateful to be the winning recipient of a prize package from Government Fleet Magazine’s sister publication Police Magazine. He was notified of his winning in early August.

RECON: Commando eBike
Mocean: Jacket, shorts, polo, pants, and vest carrier
