Pennsylvania officer who died after early June crash will be recognized with special tribute

SMITHFIELD, N.C. - June 15, 2020 - PRLog -- After sustaining life threatening injuries in a car crash while on duty in early June, a police officer who served with the Jefferson Hills Police Department in Clairton, Pennsylvania has died.

Now, an American lifestyle brand wants to honor his memory and support his family by running a "Hold the Line" apparel fundraiser in his honor.

Shield Republic Charities' latest Hold the Line campaign honors police officer Dale Provins through the sale of commemorative t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, hoodies, ladies' tank tops and decals made in the U.S.A. Net proceeds from the sale will be donated to the officer's family.

Officer Provins was severely injured in head on collision that occurred the morning of Wednesday, June 3 on Old Clairton Road in Jefferson Hills. He was transported to the hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries on June 13. The cause of the crash is currently being investigated.

The 50-year-old officer and veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps had served with the Jefferson Hills Police Department for 15 years.

"The team at Shield Republic wishes our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Officer Provins," said Charlie Romero, spokesperson for Shield Republic. "We tip our hats to this noble officer and hope that our Hold the Line campaign in his honor brings comfort and support to his family."
