DALLAS, TX May 21, 2013 – Hurricane Preparedness Week is May 26 – June 1. This week recognizes the value of getting prepared before the first hurricane hits.

CMC Government Supply is the Emergency Preparedness headquarters and has everything that is needed to face this year’s hurricane season.

To be prepared, experts stress the importance of having a disaster supplies or emergency kit which is a collection of basic items a household may need.  Often, people are required to evacuate at a moment’s notice.  With no time to search or shop for supplies, a pre-assembled kit can be a life-saver you can grab on the go.

It is also recommended to have enough food water and other supplies to last for at least 72 hours during an emergency. CMC Government Supply has Emergency Food kits available from The Wise Company and HeaterMeals.

Every household should have the 4 in 1 Emergency Tool by On Duty to be able to shut off utilities and water.  This patented tool shuts off water, gas, pries open doors and digs through debris.

If power is off, emergency lighting products provide light and safety.  Cyalume SnapLight light sticks last up to 12 hours and are easy and safe to use for families.  They are lightweight and come in a variety of colors in boxes of 10.

“All federal and local experts are encouraging people to get prepared and so is CMC,” stated Debby Parker, Vice President of CMC Government Supply.  “Do an inventory and check supplies from last year and stock up to be prepared for this hurricane season.”

DALLAS, TX  May 14 , 2013 – CMC Government Supply would like to encourage Americans to support their local police departments.  With the financial crisis that the nation is facing, police departments are having to cut budgets, all the while expenses, such as gasoline, are continuing to go up.

Tax revenues are down across the nation and this greatly impacts the funding allotted to our local officers. Not only does your local police department need your personal support, they desperately need your financial support. One of the most important ways citizens can help is to buy local so tax dollars will stay in the city.  In addition, your votes make a difference.  Vote for and support bills and propositions that fund your local departments.

The latest census reports that the average operating costs for one police officer per fiscal year is $116, 500 and $260 per resident. These operating costs, include salary, benefits, equipment and gear and fuel expenses. On average police departments have 10 officers. Which equals over one million dollars that even small towns must come up with to fund their police department.

When funding isn’t met and budgets are cut, it is not only the police department that suffers, but the residents as well. Crime goes up and response times get longer when there are not enough officers to service a community.

CMC Government Supply recognizes how important the local police department is to each and every community in America. This week is National Police Week and there is no better time than to say thank you to the men and women who serve and to honor those that have fallen in the line of duty while serving and protecting over this last year.

“CMC Government Supply is proud to serve and support our local Dallas/Ft. Worth area law enforcement community as well as that of the State of Texas and the nation.  We thank them and wish all the best to our police and their families,” stated Debby Parker, Vice President of CMC Government Supply.

CMC Government Supply carries a large variety of gear, equipment and firearms that are available to Government and Law Enforcement buyers. For an extensive list visit their website at www.cmcgov.com.

DALLAS, TX  May 7 , 2013 – CMC Government Supply now has added several popular Mesa Tactical products to their GSA Contract.  Mesa Tactical is known for high quality tactical accessories and gear for law enforcement, the military, and civilians.  The addition of these products to CMC Government Supply’s GSA Schedule Contract makes it easier for all government buyers to purchase.  CMC Government Supply also participates in the cooperative program through GSA enabling state and local agencies to purchase products at the same price.

Mesa Tactical’s popular SureShell Carriers of many varieties are available, including carriers for cheek risers, with or without a rail, with magazine or barrel clamps. Mesa Tactical makes Picatinny optics rails for several popular shotgun models that feature pre-drilled and tapped holes in the tops of their receivers. Rails for the Benelli M2 Tactical and Benelli SuperNova Tactical mount just forward of the ghost ring sights, extending to the front of the receiver.

Also on CMC’s GSA Contract are Mesa Tactical Urbino Tactical Stocks for the Benelli M1, M2 and M4, as well as for the Remington. The Urbino Tactical stock is durable, easy to shoulder and will not slip. The Urbino Tactical stock is also comfortable, thus reducing operator fatigue, especially during prolonged training and qualification sessions. The urethane rubber grip is padded at the rear to reduce recoil impact against the web of the operator’s hand, and the optional Limbsaver buttpad substantially reduces felt recoil.

LEO Telescoping Recoil Stock Kits and Adapter Kits are also offered by CMC Government Supply through GSA.  Stock adapters are investment cast aircraft aluminum, which are then CNC machined and anodized with a Type III Class 2 mil-spec finish. The ITT Enidine recoil buffer is also CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and meets the stringent standards of military and law enforcement users. The LEO adapter, manufactured for the Remington 870 and Mossberg 500/590, is the most basic, best-selling model, and features an optimal stock elevation allowing the use of iron sights or even the bead sight. All LEO adapters accept optional pushbutton sling swivels, and Remington 870 LEO adapters can accept stamped steel sling loop and hook loops. The LEO’s low cost and streamlined appearance make it the best choice for agencies looking for a simple, reliable telescoping stock at an affordable price.

Government buyers can now search for CMC Government Supply’s Schedule 84 Products in the Law Enforcement, Fire, & Security Product Section on GSA Advantage.
