We need the best gear and the best protection for our officers.”

Police Commissioner William Bratton commented, “To deal with issues of terrorism, crime and trust-building, we are going to place increased emphasis on training enhancement and improvements, as well as technology and equipment acquisition.”

The Safariland Group’s ballistic equipment being readied for deployment to the NYPD include 20,000 high-performance Delta™ 4 helmets; 12,000 Hardwire® Type III armor plates and 6,000 TAC PR plate racks.
