Riggs Training Techniques 2020 (pdf)
DownloadRiggs Shield™ is the fastest deploying police ballistic shield from inside a patrol car, giving officers the time needed to protect themselves and deploy non-lethal defensive training options as determined by your department's use of force standards.
Patented and made in the USA, it is an NIJ shot level IIIa ballistic shield that mounts to the inside door panel of a patrol car, giving instant access to the shield to protect the head and neck while seated in the vehicle. The shield is rated to stop up to .44 Magnum, 240 grain, pistol rounds and exceeded the NIJ level III stab tests in all areas.
