Unfortunately, the words “Active Shooter” have penetrated our vernacular. New doctrine is to send first responders straight into a scene instead of containing the shooter and waiting for a tactical team. This means the first officer on the scene could be wearing an NIJ Level II soft vest which may prove woefully inadequate. Each officer should be provided with a set of NIJ level IV plates in a carrier that can be quickly thrown over the head and clipped in place, hence the term “Throw-over-carrier”.
Defense Optics Group and RBR North America can provide departments and individual officers with outstanding protection at a price that will make you wonder why you hadn’t done it before. Please contact us for pricing.
RBR North America carries a wide variety of hard and soft armor. Level IIIa soft armor vests, level III and IV hard plates in both stand-alone and ICW versions are available with many different styles of carriers. Contact us for details. We even have armor for marine applications.
