Over 1,900 lives have been saved since Safariland began recording 'saves' 14 years ago. A 'save' is recorded when an operator wearing Safariland ballistic armour (including helmets) survives a life threatening injury because of their armour. It's always rewarding to know that our products are saving lives. From Safarliand's website:
We are pleased to announce The Safariland Group SAVE #1917!
Officer’s name and department - classified.
On December 16, 2014, an International Tactical Operations Unit took fire from a barricaded suspect during an active shooter incident. Their PROTECH® NATO 1™ Ballistic Shield was hit by a 12-gauge slug in the viewport directly in front of the shield operator’s face and stopped the round with no injury to the operator.
We welcome SAVE #1917, to The Safariland Group SAVES CLUB®.
