Bad Boy is proud to announce a donation to the Batesville, AR Police Department to fund the purchase of new Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and updated Taser equipment for its officers. This latest contribution follows a previous donation from Bad Boy that helped supply bulletproof vests to the department's men and women in uniform.

The funding will allow the department to equip patrol vehicles with life-saving AEDs and provide officers with modern Taser devices designed to enhance both officer safety and community protection.

"At Bad Boy, we believe in standing behind our local community," said Robert McIntire, Chief Financial Officer at Bad Boy, Inc. "Supporting our local police department is a privilege."

AEDs are critical tools that enable first responders to deliver immediate care during cardiac emergencies, dramatically increasing survival rates when used quickly. With officers often arriving on scene before EMS, having accessible AEDs in patrol vehicles can make the difference between life and death. John Scarbrough, Chief of the Batesville Police Department, expressed gratitude for the continued partnership.

"Bad Boy Mowers has once again stepped up in a meaningful way for our department and our community," said Chief Scarbrough, "Their previous donation ensured our officers had modern protective vests, and now this generous contribution allows us to further enhance both public and officer safety. We are incredibly thankful for their commitment to those who serve." This donation reflects Bad Boy Mowers' ongoing dedication to supporting first responders, strengthening local communities, and investing in initiatives that promote safety and well-being.

Headquartered in Batesville, Arkansas, Bad Boy is the brand that revolutionized the zero-turn lawn mower game. Bad Boy was the first brand to market zero-turn mowers to rural landowners and homeowners (not just commercial mowers) with a simple promise: A better mower at a better price. Bad Boy became the fastest-selling mower in America, extending its engineering expertise into other categories, including Bad Boy's line of tractors, the Bandit UTV, the E-Series of 80-volt handheld tools, and commercial-grade gas tools. Most recently, they've introduced powerful pressure washer models and proudly entered the light construction category. Bad Boy is known for sporty design, uncompromising power, relentless innovation and a signature attitude that is truly one-of-a-kind. This led to the brand's slogan, "Power. Performance. Attitude."
