Meeting with a true Body Armour Expert can help save the lives of others

Being tasked with the responsibility of sourcing, evaluating, and ultimately purchasing body armour is indeed a significant undertaking. Your decisions have a direct impact on the safety of your frontline staff, and it's understandable that you would want to get this decision absolutely right.

Now, the convenience of a quick Google search may seem tempting. You might think that asking your local police officer, who presumably knows their stuff, is a good approach. However, let me offer a different perspective.

For 15 years, I've travelled the world, meeting with Senior Security Managers from various sectors including government agencies, healthcare facilities, universities, and more. In these meetings, I've always maintained one principle: Just as I wouldn't tell a paramedic how to save a life, or a firefighter how to extinguish a blaze, nobody but a genuine body armour expert should advise you on the intricacies of body armour performance, design, and manufacturing advancements.?

Have you ever faced a situation where specific expert advice made a significant difference in your decision-making process??

In recent years, Col M , our Technical Director with 27 years of law enforcement experience, has taken the lead in these discussions. His expertise in understanding operational risks and threats is invaluable.

Colin shares: “Building a relationship of trust through shared experiences with our clients has always been pivotal. Demonstrating the equipment on myself shows my confidence in our products, and I encourage clients to experience this first-hand. There's no substitute for feeling the weight, fit, and performance of our products before committing to buy.”

Engagement Prompt: What are your thoughts on the value of first-hand experience and demonstrations when evaluating safety equipment?

I've previously written about the importance of certified spike protection in body armour. A reader once questioned the necessity of physical demonstrations when official certifications exist. My response is straightforward: a physical demo is crucial for developing trust in the body armour. It's about knowing, not just believing, that the armour will protect you from specific threats.

Also, it's imperative to ask the right questions. For example, "Is your body armour certified for knife, spike, and impact protection?" and "May I see a copy of the certification?"?

How do you ensure the reliability of safety equipment in your field? Are certifications enough, or do you seek additional assurances?

A personal meeting with our Body Armour Experts allows you to address any concerns your team might have. They might wonder why they are suddenly required to wear body armour and what this implies about their job roles or the risks involved.

We are here to help you make decisions based on facts, not hearsay or insufficient advice.
