Officer Safety Solutions
This company (Officer Safety Solutions) is temporarily selling plate carriers with two level iv multi hit plates for $450. If your agency is like mine, the one in the trunk is 20+ years old. The carriers also hold rifle and pistol mags and come with two "Police" patches for the front and back. I don't work for this company, I'm just spreading the good word since its open season on cops right now, and they seem to be trained and are using rifles. The whole rig weighs 7 pounds.
Be safe. *Edit it is Officer Survival Solutions: Here's the link https://www.facebook.com/officersurvivalsolutions/ Last edited by CinnamonBear723; 07-24-2016 at 6:13 PM.. |

Interesting... anyone know how they compare to say London Bridge Trading or SKD PIG carriers? And the armor... I am assuming that if it is certified it would be comparable to anything else made of similar composition?

I just called and ordered because I had a lot of questions. They are very pleasant to deal with. Either that or they are scamming the hell out me.

Our department is in the process of overhauling our vests and carriers so if it ends up being legit I can see is ordering a whole bunch. Unfortunately, just like everything in this field, it took harsh tragedy for change to finally come about.

Level IV plates and a total weight of 7lbs for $450 is a killer deal. I run level iii plates and my plates alone run 3.5lbs each. I run a Shellback Tactical Banshee, that plus the plates was $450 without any other accessories.

Cool. I know I've been looking around for a smaller, quick med kit with a CAT tourniquet for my duty belt and a slightly larger med bag for my battle belt setup. Good stuff.
The plates/vest are not approved for regular duty wear. Our SWAT team, on the other hand, would be a different story. |

I guess thats a little on the heavy side. I work a plain clothes detail so 14-15 pounds won't bother me too much. I can carry around 15 pounds if it means not getting dead with a rifle round.
I'm not a big fan of their little trauma pack, more specifically their tourniquet they put in it. I thinks its a very subpar tourniquet. Coming from an EMT background I carry 3 really good tourniquets with me at any given time. I have a plain looking backpack in my UC car but its anything but plain inside. Ive been slowly piecing together a good trauma kit for a multi casualty situation. I have 12 chest seals, 3 tourniquets, two trauma shears, 6 hemostatic gauze, and 3 pressure dressings. |

I'm taking advantage of our city's promise to get us new carriers in light of the recent tragedy by show casing these carriers. Hopefully they will sign off right away after seeing the price tag; assuming that its good quality. I would imagine they'll want us to take it to the range and blow the crap out of it. |

https://www.amazon.com/ADSX-Military...rds=tourniquet in one of these: https://www.amazon.com/NAR-C-A-T-Tou...rds=tourniquet And one of these in my breast pocket behind my notepad: https://www.amazon.com/SWAT-T-Tourni...rds=tourniquet Both of those can be applied one handed, and both are small, lightweight, and very unobtrusive to the eye and out of the way. And a 100g quick clot sponge in my external carrier behind the trauma plate. I've been meaning to order another TQ or two and another quick clot and some occlusives to stuff in my quick access ohsiht bag. I would like to get a carrier with rifle plates in it that I can throw on, but don't know how well it would work going over the top of my everyday external carrier. I'll have to play with it some and see. Irish, I'll need to check yours out. Last edited by Spyder; 07-26-2016 at 5:28 PM.. |

^^^^ We don't get the luxury of external carriers which is why I'm looking for a small med kit with some quick clot, occlusive dressing, and a CAT tourniquet or two. Something quick and basic to be able to get me back to the car.
The bigger and larger med kit will go in the bag and can also be carried on a battle belt. |

Esy, that cat TQ holster fits on the belt just as well, and the quick clot sponge spent several years in my regular soft armor trauma plate pocket before we got carriers.

Absolutely. I really like it, and after wearing it continuously on that deployment really made me appreciate it more. Well built, completely adjustable, and does not interfere with movement or weapon.

Yeah, I've seen a few of the CAT holsters. One of my partners just had a small belt kit that had quickclot in a holder with a CAT tourniquet wrapped around the top or something. Was about the size of a leatherman or so. I forgot to ask him where he got it.

Check out https://www.tacmedsolutions.com they offer a basic kit called the lapd kit. I bought it has lots of good stuff but they make it look extremely larger then it really is. I added a few more things to it.
Also check out https://www.narescue.com they have trauma tourniquets and awesome duty belt tourniquet holders. I have the rigid and it's a nice product. |

When I saw the title to this thread, I thought it was going to list some solutions for improved officer safety.

Will post an update with the latest information. My department has learned of a company that will sell us (LEO) the latest (rifle resistant) plate carriers, with panels etc...for cost ($350). Several of my brothers have bought them after the Dallas BS. and they look awesome. Will get back with the website ASAP.

Mine ships tomorrow. I called yesterday and asked about it. She said they didn't expect the amount of orders they were going to receive so they are playing catch up. They are about a week behind.

Starting to get annoyed and feel like i might have been giving the run around. Still hasn't shipped and i've called more than a few times. Anyone else having issues? I'm starting to feel like its more of a scam.

I got a tracking number for mine yesterday. I think they are a new business with good intentions and poor management. Over a month with no updates on pending orders is not good customer service. Hopefully they learn from it and improve. I'll try to post a review when mine comes in.

I took ordered in the 25th. After multiple phone calls and it'll ship soon we might have lost the order, I was told it should ship first week of Sept. They supposedly ran out of plates and we're waiting on their supplier. The contact system out in place is pretty pathetic. I probably ended up calling 15 times over the span of two weeks and only got a live person twice. my email has still not been replied to.

I tried getting ahold of these guys multiple times by phone, few emails, etc. I am working on a staff study to buy 1,500 plate carrier setups for my dept. Never heard a word back. The company is worthless as far as I care.

Called again last week and was told the same story, "should ship in a few days." If I don't get notification by this Friday I'm thinking I'm going to just chargeback. Not in a rush but I don't feel too comfortable with their lack of communication. Anyone else find a good spot for level 4 plates and carrier?

My shipment was only a partial shipment of my order. I received the trauma plate medical pack but plate carrier is still MIA. Not really in a huge rush to get my plate carrier as I have an older one which is still in decent shape to use in the mean time.
I was told my plate carrier should have shipped last week but it did not. I understand there are delays from suppliers but the false promise of delivery dates is bad business. I'll wait it out a little longer but likely won't spend anymore money there which sucks because they are local and I love supporting small local businesses. |

Called and canceled mine today. Kinda sad to see the website has new models and tourniquets added to their packages like shipping has been great. The service rep stated she didn't have a record of my order from July 25th. We'll see how it all works out. Currently looking for another good deal on level 4 plates and a carrier.
