The First Responder was created and developed by firefighters, that are currently in the industry. Looking for a ballistic system that was easy to self-don, easily adjust and one that could “fit-the-seat” so not matter who was in the “seat”, they would have a properly sized and correct fitting vest. The First Responder is the perfect vest for dangerous domestic calls, patients that may become hostile or situations where first arriving personnel may have to operate with delayed law enforcement. The colors and design of the First Responder are based on Firefighter and EMS gear to help Firefighters and EMS personnel be recognized as a non-hostile/medical responders and “NOT” as law enforcement.
