What is an Active Shooter Response Kit For?

The Active Shooter Response Kit is a form of law enforcement training that deals with potentially dangerous incidents, such as active shooters and periods of civil unrest. Active shooter response kits help law enforcement officers, EMTs, and civilians identify the appropriate course of action when these things occur. The goal is to empower people when an emergency arises and allow them to take control. We at Pivotal Body Armor provide Shooter Response Kit training for hazmat agents, security officers, and first responders.

Reasons To Consider Active Shooter Response Kit

1. An active shooter is a rare and highly unpredictable type of incident that has the potential to result in severe injury or death to law enforcement or innocent civilians.

2. An Active Shooter Response Kit can help first responders cope with and respond to such incidents sooner. Rising interest in these types of incidents has taught law enforcement officers, EMTs, and employees of security firms the importance of having an effective active shooter response kit on their person at all times.

3. Armed and unarmed civilians can learn to avoid, recognize and deal with an active shooter before law enforcement intervenes.

4. An active shooter does not care if it is a school, business, or place of worship. Their sole purpose is to kill as many people as possible in the shortest possible time.

5. Active Shooter Response Kit training helps raise awareness of Active Shooter and gives people the tools and strategies to help them deal with these life-threatening incidents.

The Shooter Response Kit consists of a lightweight 5-ounce ballistics helmet, a padded body armor vest, a trauma plate insert that can be affixed to the vest, gloves, and thigh pads designed to protect first responders from bullets.

What is the Use of Multi-Curve Body Armor?

1. Multi-curve body armor has several small openings at the back, giving a wearer better flexibility and movement.

2. It provides more protection by diverting the bullet to its side or back, which increases the possibility of survival.

3. The shape of the M-Croat Body Armor allows it to resist higher caliber bullets and different types of shooting, including pistols, automatic weapons, shotguns with slugs, high-speed rifle projectiles, and subsonic rounds such as 5.56 mm.

4. M-croat body armor is now being issued for police, military, and taxi drivers.

5. The original M-croat body armor has been around for several years but has recently come under scrutiny due to its poor design, which causes constriction and discomfort.

6. A new version of multi-curve body armor is available on the market as of 2009, which delivers greater flexibility and comfort to law enforcement officers, correctional officers, military personnel, and taxi drivers.

7. The new multi-curve body armor is similar to the previous model, but it has been improved by adding a third material to the back shell to make it more flexible and durable.

What is the best body armor?

Body armor designed for frontline officers comes in two flavors: soft body armor and hard body armor. Bulletproof vests made from either of these materials are designed to withstand certain ammunition. They are usually worn under clothing for protection during routine patrols or routine duties, such as directing traffic or operating a security gate. The pros of each type are as follows:

1. Soft body armor is well suited for duty wear because it is lightweight and protects the wearer from most handgun rounds.

2. Soft armor also readily conforms to the body, allowing it to conceal easily under clothing.

3. Hard body armor is more suitable for riot duty since it is designed to withstand more powerful rifle, shotgun, and submachine gun rounds. Soft body armor usually protects against handgun rounds only.

4. Multi-curve body armor is a soft armor that consists of two layers. The outer layer is the same as the inner layer but is made from a thick material that adds more protection. That is what makes multi-curve body armor so sought after. It offers greater protection than standard hard body armor, while still being flexible and comfortable to wear.

5. As previously mentioned, the M-Croat soft body armor offers protection comparable to that offered by hard body armor, but its design allows the wearer greater flexibility and maneuverability during attacks.

6. The M-Croat soft armor will not protect one from a shotgun blast or a heavy caliber rifle round, but it can prevent most handgun rounds from penetrating the body armor and causing damage.

Conclusion:

Pivotal Armor offers different options for body armor products manufactured from various high-quality materials and designed to protect officers from the types of ammunition commonly encountered in real-world situations. Our multi-curve body armor, for example, is designed for those exposed to more powerful ammunition and can be conveniently worn under clothing. It provides the wearer with outstanding protection in indoor and outdoor environments while ensuring comfort and flexibility. Our hard body armor has even greater protection against rifle rounds than soft body armor, providing sufficient coverage and flexibility.
