Mike Navarro, general manager at Pro-gard, states "The acquisition of AOI allows Pro-gard to offer multiple airbag solutions and ensures that it will continue to meet the demands of law enforcement agencies around the country. With the evolution of airbags, especially side curtain airbags, compatibility with aftermarket vehicle prisoner partitions has been a major concern for agencies. Combining AOI's airbag control switches with Pro-gard's vehicle partitions will provide law enforcement agencies complete protection from the equipment they need to do their job."
