Gulfport Business Prints Police Memorial T-Shirts

Gulfport business Treasure Island Tee's printed the National Law Enforcement Memorial shirts to be sold in effort to raise funds for families of fallen officers and to help the St. Petersburg Police Officers attend the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington D.C. in May 2012.

The memorial T-shirts are available starting today at the St. Petersburg Police Department from 11 a.m. - 7 p.m., Saturday 5 - 9 p.m. and Sunday 12 - 4 p.m. They are $15 each and feature a new style. The five color shirts are black and printed on a new material that is softer than previous cotton shirts.

The front left breast has a SPPD badge with the thin blue line and written underneath: Fallen Heroes.

On the back - the National Law Enforcement Memorial Logo with SPPD and our fallen officers' call signs. Underneath will be the three names of St. Petersburg Police Sergeant Thomas Baitinger, K-9 Officer Jeffrey Yaslowitz and Officer David Crawford. Under the three names will be the 12 names of the officers previously killed in the line of duty in the history of SPPD, as the national memorial wall contains all these names. The left sleeve will have a Suncoast PBA logo, as the PBA is providing financial support to fund the project.
