It offers peace of mind for personnel responding to volatile domestic calls, accident scenes, or active threat incidents. Full certification is available for your department’s procurement process.
High-Visibility & Professional Identification
The vest carrier is constructed with high-visibility, flame-resistant reflective stripes on the shoulders and torso, ensuring compliance with safety standards for operating in low-light conditions or near roadways. Large, removable Velcro ID panels on the front and back (e.g., “FIRE,” “FIRE RESCUE,” “EMS”) provide clear, immediate identification to law enforcement and the public on a chaotic scene.
