KDH Defense Systems gets body armor order form LAPD
EDEN, N.C., May 28 () -- A U.S. manufacturer of custom body armor says the Los Angeles Police Department has ordered concealable armor and plates for its officers.KDH Defense Systems Inc. said the multiyear contract for its Level II and IIIA armor and polyethylene special threat plates was given to its exclusive distributor, Galls LLC."This was a department-wide solicitation by the LAPD for concealable ballistic armor and polyethylene special threat plates to be worn while on patrol," said Paul Larkin,[url=http://www.moncleroutleto.co.uk]moncler london[/url], national sales director for KDH. "LAPD's criteria was extremely specific to performance against special threat ammunition testing and verification of areal density weight requirements."All of the ballistic testing and verification was conducted at an NIJ-approved ballistic laboratory. In addition, an officer wear test was conducted which included both male and female officers in Level II and Level IIIA armor over a 30-day period."KDH said the armor meets new NIJ Standard-0101.06 and specific requirements of the LAPD."One of the key factors we believe resulted in this award was the proven performance of KDH's advanced LTST and LTSTF special threat series ballistic systems, as these were specifically identified by LAPD as meeting their rigid specifications," said KDH Chief Executive Officer Dave Herbener."This award, by the third largest law enforcement agency in the United States, underscores KDH's commitment to developing and providing the very best in life-saving ballistic protection while simultaneously allowing for officer comfort, mobility, functionality and operational performance."
