Spirit of Blue Foundation Awards Patrol Rifle Grant To Cicero (NY) Police Department

Monday, June 13th, 2016

Cicero Police Department Receives Patrol Rifle Grant From The Spirit of Blue Foundation.

SYRACUSE, NEW YORK – June 13, 2016 – The Spirit of Blue Foundation announced that it has awarded a Safety Equipment Grant to the Cicero Police Department (CPD) for the acquisition of three AR-15 style rifles and essential accessories, valued at $9,065.43. The rifles constitute the creation of the CPD’s patrol rifle program, a capability they do not currently have, for the protection of its officers. CPD Officers will be trained in their use and the rifles and accessories will be staged in patrol cars for deployment.

Spirit of Blue presented the Cicero Police Department three LMT Defense rifles along with essential accessories to start their patrol rifle program. Receiving the grant was Town Councilor Mike Becallo; Town Supervisor Mark Venesky; Sergeant James Snell; and Chief Joseph Snell (left to right). The grant was presented by Spirit of Blue Executive Director Ryan T. Smith (center).

“These rifles will be a great asset to the Department and the community. It is important that we are prepared to respond to critical incidents with the proper equipment,” commented Chief Joseph Snell of the Cicero Police Department. “Having the proper equipment and resources provides a higher level of safety for our Officers and the residents of Cicero.”

The CQB16 rifles were generously donated by premier rifle manufacturer LMT Defense, which was founded in 1980 to provide the US Military, law enforcement and government agencies with precision engineered, high quality weapons. Since that time LMT Defense has gone on to distribute its product to militaries, national police agencies and VIP protection details in 43 nations around the world. Each rifle will come complete with an EOTech Holographic Weapon Sight, Magpul Back-Up Sights and five 30-round PMAG ammunition magazines, a Blue Force Gear Ten-Speed Chest Rig and VCAS weapon sling, all donated by their respective manufacturers.

“At the most basic level a rifle is a tool, and these are tools that any modern law enforcement agency must have to protect its officers and the residents they serve,” explained Ryan T. Smith, Executive Director of the Spirit of Blue Foundation. “We are pleased to be able provide these tools to the Cicero Police Department and we are grateful to our many safety grant sponsors who donated their great products to make this grant possible.”

Statistics preliminarily released by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund show that 44 law enforcement officers have already lost their lives in 2016, a decrease of 8% so far from the prior year. But 20 of those deaths were firearm related, a 25% increase over the same period in 2015. The reality of these statistics, and the increasing number of underfunded law enforcement agencies across the country, fuel the Spirit of Blue safety grant initiative.

The Spirit of Blue Foundation actively encourages the public at large to honor and appreciate law enforcement officers who serve to protect our communities. By supporting the Spirit of Blue Foundation, the public can make an impact in the lives of law enforcement officers every day.

Visitors to this year’s EUROSATORY Trade Show in Villepinte, France (13-17 June) can look forward to trying on a new squeezable camouflage face paint developed by survival equipment specialists, BCB International Ltd (Hall 6 G798).

For over 40 years, BCB International have been producing camouflage creams which are used by many NATO troops to stay concealed from enemy combatants. BCB will be unveiling for the first time at EUROSATORY their range of squeezable camouflage face paint. BCB International’s squeezable camouflage face paint is issued to the Canadian Armed Forces.

BCB’s French Government Sales Manager, Philippe Minchin, said: “Stealth and the element of surprise is vital in any military operation. Generations of soldiers have relied on BCB’s camouflage face paint to blend in with their operational environment and stay a step ahead of the enemy.

“Currently provided in individual colour tubes (black, brown, green and tan), the squeezable variant has the same properties of our split-stick and three colour compact camouflage face paints. It is non-irritant, sweat proof and offers a high degree of protection against the sun as well as infra-red searching devices.

FEDERAL RESOURCES PRESENTS HOLLYWOOD MOVIE, RANGE 15, IN CHARITY EVENT AT IAFC CONFERENCE

Friday, June 10th, 2016

Baltimore MD, June 16, 2016 – Federal Resources, a first responder solution provider located in Stevensville, MD, is hosting an exclusive showing of the new independent movie, RANGE 15, at the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) International Hazardous Materials Response Conference on June 16th, 2016 in the Grand Ballroom of the Hilton Baltimore. The movie, tagged as the first film made entirely by veterans for veterans, stars actual veterans and Medal of Honor recipients alongside famous Hollywood actors.

RANGE 15 is the collaboration of two veteran-owned clothing companies, Ranger Up and Article 15 Clothing, run by Nick Palmisciano and Mat Best. The companies gained popularity among veterans and others through comedic videos placed on YouTube. With their dismay of Hollywood portraying veterans as unhappy “neanderthals”, the pair decided to team together and film a comedy to showcase that veterans can indeed have fun.

Nick and Mat set up an IndieGoGo campaign and raised over $1 million to acquire the funds for a feature length film. Federal Resources, a company that believes in and honors our veterans, became a key sponsor to the film, offering technical expertise and advice for the movie. The movie, a comedy horror zombie film, showcases many hazmat responders throughout the film. HazMatIQ instructor and Federal Resources Director of Training, Chris Waier was on set to ensure the responders were portrayed accurately.

The movie stars Mat Best and Nick Palmisciano along with William Shatner, Keith David, Danny Trejo, Sean Astin and other Hollywood heavyweights. Veteran and Navy Cross recipient Marcus Luttrell, who inspired the movie “Lone Survivor”, and Medal of Honor recipient Leroy Petry also star.

“This movie is for the veteran community. It’s not for anybody else if they don’t want it to be.” exclaims writer and star Nick Palmisciano. “I hope it does a lot to bridge the veteran – civilian divide. But if it doesn’t and the only thing that happens is that our community has a movie that they love, then we succeeded.”

Federal Resources will host a screening of the film on June 16th in the Grand Ballroom of the Hilton Baltimore during the IAFC Hazmat Conference in Baltimore MD. The event will feature a cash bar and a screening of the film in its entirety. Admission cost will be a donation of “anything you can give”, with a $5 minimum donation. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the YVORRA LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION, CHIEF JOHN M. EVERSOLE ENDOWMENT FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS RESPONDERS. The doors will open at 6:00 pm EST for the cash bar social hour, followed by the film at 8:00 pm EST.
