Exciting news from our booth! We've made some significant updates with new equipment and partners. We've made the transition to the cutting-edge New Public Order Helmet from Schuberth, as Gentex has discontinued their Public Order Helmets earlier this year. The collaboration with the Schuberth team has been exceptional, ensuring a tailored color selection to support our Advanced Public Order program established over the past 18 years in the US. 

Furthermore, we continue to strengthen our alliance with DMS, a key partner in developing new equipment to meet the evolving needs of the Military and Federal agencies aligning with the latest US PPE Standards for Public Order.

In addition, we are thrilled to announce a new strategic partnership with a renowned weapon system known for its record-breaking achievements, with more details to follow tomorrow.

It's inspiring to be part of a supportive community of outstanding companies like First Spear, Atlantic Signal, Cold Fire, and S&S, whose equipment complements our Public Order package. We also value the exceptional contributions of our partners at Patriot 3 and Lenco, known for crafting top-tier equipment for specialist operations worldwide.

If you're in the DC area and belong to the law enforcement, Federal, or Military sectors, we invite you to join us at the 2025 NTOA conference this Monday. It's a prime opportunity to interact firsthand with industry leaders and experience the latest innovations in person.

Exciting times at the 2025 NTOA Conference in DC! As we gear up for the event, my business partner Jared Wihongi, Adam, and I are thrilled to showcase our Public Order Vehicle, Phil, from our fleet inside the exhibition hall, while Nina stands proudly outside.

This year, we're proud to feature the Schuberth Public Order Helmet, filling the gap left by Gentex's discontinuation of their Public Order helmet after fifty years of dedicated service to frontline Officers. It's an honor to support Cold Fire Tactical in their absence at the conference, so do drop by our booth. If I can't address your queries about the product, I'll direct you to the expert who can. Our collaborative product with them, the FSP (Fire Suspension Pack), developed in partnership with First Spear, is also on display.

Don't miss the SuperHailer, a crowd favorite that garners attention. While it's ideal for Public Order missions, its applications extend far beyond. SWAT members, feel free to swing by and inquire about its capabilities.

We're adding the final touches to our booth in the morning, unveiling surprises with new strategic partners before the Conference kicks off. Join us and explore what's in store!

Looking forward to welcoming you at our booth 733 come by and engage with us.

After spending 5 weeks away from home in Maryland, I'm back in Utah, ready to dive back into vehicle building with my team. Next week, we're gearing up for another Level 1 Advanced Public Order Foundation course.

Reflecting on the past three weeks, it has been a gratifying experience working alongside a remarkable group of officers and Troopers. Witnessing their growth in both skills and teaching methods has been truly inspiring.

Throughout this period, they delved into an array of Advanced Public Order topics and even had the chance to impart Level 3 Basic Public Order skills to recruits. Their resilience in adapting to the sometimes harsh weather conditions was commendable, showcasing their dedication to the mission.

Despite facing scorching temperatures in the final week, the class remained unwavering in their commitment. The emphasis on training under challenging circumstances mirrors our operational approach – preparing in full gear is vital to understanding our fitness levels and the capabilities we bring to the teams we educate.

A special acknowledgment goes out to our gracious hosts and training personnel at the US Secret Service, as well as our valued colleagues at the US Park Police for their collaboration in integrating elements of their Mounted divisions into our training sessions. This collaboration significantly enhances our crowd management and disorder response strategies in the nation's capital.

The involvement of the US Park Police in our Level 1 Advanced Public Order Program since November 2015 underscores their reliability and proficiency in producing adept Public Order Officers during critical times in Washington, D.C.

To all the dedicated students, it has been a privilege supporting you on your journey towards becoming the future leaders in US Public Order Policing.

What a productive week it has been at Ft Leonard Wood, Missouri, working with 2 Level 1 Advanced Public Order platoons from the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Despite the warmth, the dedicated men and women of this department rose to the occasion and successfully completed their recertification and development training.

A special shoutout to the Military for graciously providing facilities for MSHP's training, enhancing the realism and effectiveness of the exercises beyond the typical parking lot setup with cones.

Now, we've transitioned back to the East Coast, making Maryland our temporary base for the next 5 weeks. With various activities and team members involved, including my business partner assisting in the training, we are set for a dynamic period ahead.

Looking forward to reconnecting with colleagues in DC post-training sessions to participate in Police Memorial Week, honoring and remembering our fallen comrades.

Wishing everyone a safe and productive week ahead, while also taking a moment to reflect on and commemorate the sacrifices of our fellow service members.

It's been a damp start to the Level 1 Advanced Public Order Course, with a dedicated group of Officers. Some are revisiting as supervisors, enhancing the experience by mentoring Level 2 Officers transitioning into Level 1 roles.

Last night, our team attended a solemn candlelight vigil in DC to honor the fallen despite the rain. For US Law Enforcement Officers, I recommend experiencing this event at least once. Personally, I've attended for the past decade.

A special thanks to our partners at US Park Police for their unwavering support and ensuring our safety at The Mall. Here's to hoping for drier weather in the upcoming days. Remember, in the realm of training, a little rain adds to the experience.
