The Legacy Ballistic Riot Shield is an ultra lightweight shield which offers Level IIIA protection. In fact, it's a must-threat protection shield in that it not only offers ballistic protection, but also protection against knives, edged weapons and blunt forces such as baseball bats, rocks and bricks. 

NOTE: NIJ Level IIA can protect against 9mm Full Metal Jacketed Round Nose and .40 S&W Full Metal Jacketed ammunition, both of which are used in the majority of handguns. It can also stop similar handgun ammunition such as the 10mm Auto, .357 SIG, and even .45 ACP.

NIJ Level II armor is capable of protecting against all of the above ammunition, as well as .357 Magnum Jacketed Soft Points and 9mm Parabellum rounds fired at a higher velocity.

NIJ Level IIIA can stop all of the above ammunition, as well as 9mm Parabellum rounds fired from semi-automatic and .44 Magnum Jacketed Hollow Point rounds.

At just 9 lbs. the Legacy Police Ballistic Shield is incredibly light, easy to carry and manipulate in tactical situations. What makes it even more of a pleasure to use is it's innovative cross strap. This cross strap allows the user to suspend the shield in front of their body, freeing up both hands for required tactical or emergency situations. During testing, this feature was found to be an absolute game-changer.

This is precisely why I designed The 221B Tactical Phantom Plate Carrier. Unlike any other plate carrier on the market today, The Phantom Plate Carrier is constructed with our 100% breathable, patented Maxx-Dri technology. This not only makes the plate carrier ultra-breathable but also makes is weigh 50% less than traditional police and military plate carriers commonly sold to civilians and homeowners alike; making this one of the best plate carriers of 2020.

The Phantom Plate Carrier comes equipped with molle and velcro front and back for those wishing to add additional pouches or identification patches. This is key for those who would like to carry first aid kits (IFAK) or items such as tourniquets as part of their kit. And of course the molle allows for the addition of mag pouches for those with weapons that are seeking to carry additional ammunition. 

The 221B Tactical Vanquish First Responder Tool is everything I've always wanted in an everyday carry tool. Built with the highest grade materials and constructed to last, The Vanquish First Responder Tool will be the best EDC knife and everyday tool you'll ever own.

Thousands of first responders and civilians across the country trust The Vanquish First Responder Tool every single day as their EDC tool of choice. If you're looking for the best tactical knife to carry on duty as a police officer, as a civilian every day or to even keep in your vehicle (perfect for young, new drivers), look no further than The Vanquish First Responder Tool. 

After spending 13 years on the job as a full time Police Officer, the thing that bothered me the most while on patrol was how uncomfortable it was to wear body armor. It was somewhat bearable in the winter months. But come the summer time, it was brutal and borderline unbearable. This was a concern from a comfort standpoint but also a safety standpoint.

If you wear body armor, at some point you've found yourself doing one or both of two things: Rubbing against an object like a cat, trying to scratch an itch and smelling yourself wondering if anyone else around you can smell that unmistakable body armor odor. It's ok... I've been there myself and feel your pain.

The problem is, those shirts were NOT developed for those who wear body armor. In fact, they were not developed for football or hockey players who wear pads. That's right! You see, the second you put anything over these moisture wicking compression shirts you immediately impede its ability to do its job. 

These shirts require unobstructed access to open, ambient air to optimally do their job. Once you cover them with football shoulder pad, hockey pads or, in my case, body armor, zero moisture gets wicked into the atmosphere. Instead, it gets wicked directly into your pads or body armor.

So it is for these Sheepdogs, along with our brave police officers, that we are embarking on this mission. The mission to better equip the Sheepdogs among us with the training, information and equipment they want, need and desire to be better prepared for when evil (the wolf) strikes.

Sadly, many outlets and platforms do not support this kind of information. Some view it as violent and unnecessary. And because of their personal beliefs and stance (and other societal and political factors), they block, remove or otherwise limit the view and/or discovery of such content.

Therefore, the 221B Sheepdog Nexus will be owned, operated and housed exclusively by us. Members only will be granted exclusive access to this content. This will include original 221B content as well as carefully curated content from across the globe by some of the best in the business. 

Not all search gloves are created equal. And when it comes to protecting your hands from fluids, you need fluid resistant gloves that also offer full dexterity and the ability to complete the job at hand without compromise. That's why...

What's the best way to not get the coronavirus? Now more than ever, Police and Law Enforcement Officers must protect themselves from the dangers encountered while on the job. This is not just important to the officers themselves but also to their children and families at home. Because the last thing any police officer wants to do is bring home a potentially deadly virus and pass it along to their kids.

How long does the coronavirus last? As most know by now, proper hand-washing is critical. Although there are reports that the novel Coronavirus can survive in the air for a short period of time under certain conditions, the primary means for it to enter your body it via mucous membranes. This is why it is so important to not touch these areas whether you feel your hands are clean or not. And you should be washing your hands thoroughly before eating with your hands.
