Riggs Shield™
For reduced use-of-force and increased police protection.
Self-defense for civilians.
Unprovoked attacks on patrol officers are rising. Deputy Robert Riggs saw it firsthand when his partner was ambushed in this patrol car which had armored panels installed on the doors. Fortunately, he survived the attack with bullet wounds to his hand when he tried to protect his face.
FBI STATS: More than half of the officers killed by firearms annually were not wearing body armor when they were slain. Of those who wore vests, most died from head or neck wounds.
Patented and made in the USA, the Riggs Shield is an NIJ Shot Level IIIa ballistic shield that mounts to the inside door panel of a car, or slides into the gap between the console and passenger seat, giving instant access to the shield to protect the head and neck inside the car where you are vulnerable.
It deploys instantly inside the car and can be taken outside the car to defend against gun shots, punches, stabs, clubs, stun guns and projectiles.
It gives officers the time needed to protect themselves and deploy the most appropriate use-of-force.
At $424, the Riggs Shield is a life-saving, low-cost shield that deploys in seconds.
