Armor for Heroes

Introduction: Protect Those Who Protect Us

Our police officers and first responders put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe. These brave men and women deserve the best protection available. "Armor for Heroes" is an initiative that allows friends, family, and community members to donate high-quality, bulletproof vests to their loved ones who serve as police officers or first responders. By participating in this program, you can help ensure that your loved one has the protection they need while they are on the front lines.

Program Overview

Step 1: Choose the Right Armor

The first step in donating a vest is selecting the appropriate type for your loved one. The "Armor for Heroes" program offers a range of vests that meet or exceed industry standards. Vests available through the program include:

  • NIJ Level IIIA Vests: Provides protection against most handgun threats and includes stab and slash resistance.
  • Level III Lightweight Rifle Plates 10" x 12"
  • Level IV Ballistic Plates: Offers the highest level of protection against rifle threats.

Each vest is customizable to fit the specific needs and preferences of the officer or responder, including options for weight, additional side armor inserts, and color, such as grey, which is ideal for EMS or Fire personnel.

Step 2: Place Your Order

Once you have selected the vest, you can place your order through the "Armor for Heroes" online portal. Here’s how:

  1. Visit the Program Website: Go to the "Armor for Heroes" website and select the "Donate a Vest" option.
  2. Customize Your Vest: Choose the specific features and color for the vest. You will also be able to input your loved one’s measurements to ensure a perfect fit.
  3. Provide Delivery Details: Enter the recipient’s details, including their department and work address, to ensure the vest is delivered directly to them.
  4. Enter Promo code "ArmorHero" at checkout for exclusive pricing
  5. Choose a Payment Option: Payment can be made in full or through a donation pool where multiple friends and family members can contribute.

Step 3: Personalize Your Gift

After placing the order, you can personalize the vest by including a custom message or dedication. This message will be attached to the vest, reminding your loved one that they have the support and love of their family and friends every time they put it on.

Step 4: Delivery and Presentation

The vest will be delivered within 30 days directly to the officer or responder’s department or home, depending on the preference selected during the order process. The recipient will receive a notification of the delivery, along with your personalized message.

Step 5: Share the Story

After your loved one receives their vest, you can share their story with the "Armor for Heroes" community. With their permission, you can highlight the importance of protective gear and inspire others to support their local heroes.

Every day, police officers and first responders face unknown dangers. The "Armor for Heroes" program gives you the chance to provide a tangible layer of protection to those who dedicate their lives to protecting others.
