"We are very excited to offer this program," stated Hoyt Schmidt, Executive Vice President of Commercial Sales at Point Blank Enterprises. "Reserve and auxiliary law enforcement officers are our neighbors, friends and relatives. They are exposed to the same hazards as full time officers and deserve to wear the finest body armor available and we sincerely appreciate their service and volunteerism."
This new program is needed now more than ever, says the company. According to recent FBI statistics, the number of line-of-duty deaths has been on an uphill climb, with 66 law enforcement officers feloniously killed in the line of duty in 2016. And law enforcement officers who do not routinely wear body armor risk fatal injury at a rate 14 times higher than officers who do, according to the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF).
In order to qualify for the program, reserve officers can visit the Point Blank website at

and sign up to initiate the verification process. The simple purchasing process allows officers to select their desired NIJ .06 threat level, ballistic model, appropriate size and carrier color (black or navy). Upon placing their order, the reserve officer can expect on-time delivery within 2-3 weeks.
