Louisiana Business to Donate Bulletproof Vests to Ville Platte Marshals Office

On Thursday, April 25th at 10 AM, Giles Automotive Group will donate 5 bulletproof vests to the Ville Platte Marshals Office. The Marshals Office 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 life-saving personal protection equipment for officers in the line of duty, and this generous donation by Mr. Bob Giles and his auto group brings the total number of bulletproof vests donated up to 174. The equipment will be presented to Lieutenant Michael Shaw along with other members of the department at a Press Conference on Thursday, April 25th at 10 AM at Giles Nissan at 4383 I-49 South in Opelousas.

Mr. Giles commented, “These officers are our local heroes, and they bravely perform their duties and dedicate themselves to serving the community. I am very grateful for the work they perform day after day.” He continued, “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.”

What is 'Giles Gives Back'?

Giving back to the community is of utmost importance to Mr. 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 the community, and spreads the message of giving back. Giles Gives Back has donated over 170 bulletproof 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.
