Raising a Hero

There is an undeniable source of pride felt by Police Officers, members of the Armed Forces and their families alike. Few jobs are more honorable than serving, protecting and peacekeeping in the United States of America.While rewarding, the daily stresses of public service can be a heavy cross to bear and not only for the man or woman wearing the badge.

“Having my son serve in the Military as his choice of career is both frightening and fills me with pride. To support him in his choices, I am always standing strong on the home front. I make sure that I am here to help his wife and his children when they need me. And when he misses his family, I try and keep his spirits up and lifted.”– Debbie Bogle, Mother of U.S. Navy Sailor

Mothers of our Armed Forces and our nation’s Public Safety Officials are often times the ones taking the first and strongest emotional blow. Though most are fighting an internal battle with feelings of worry and fear, these women stand tall and proud.

“The best thing about being the mother of a Military man is the pride that I have in the job that he does everyday, in the respect that I have for him and in the love that bursts from my heart every time I see him in his uniform.”– Debbie Bogle, Mother of U.S. Navy Sailor

Behind every cop, soldier and Public Safety Official is a mom who has shaped the hearts of these brave heroes; a mother that has engrained in them an unshakable commitment to their country. These women practice the ultimate in selfless, servant leadership by giving our nation their most precious treasure — their children.

“I am honored to have raised a young man who is willing to put other’s lives ahead of his own. Hearing about all the commendations he has earned and all the great things that he has been a part of to make his community safer makes me proud.”— Donna Davis, Mother of a U.S. Police Officer

Angel Armor RISE is by far the lightest, most comfortable, and most protective vest I've worn in 24 years of law enforcement. Once it's on, I forget it's even there.

Our testing was conducted on an NIJ IIIA ballistic door panel insert manufactured by Angel Armor. The panel was field tested on a 2015 Dodge Charger patrol squad car. Weighing just under ten pounds, the panel slipped into the driver's door with relative ease. No additional mounting hardware or brackets were required. None of the inner door panels, handles or inside trim needed to be removed and the panel slipped between the glass side window and the outer door metal. The panel was secured under the trim piece that ran along the top edge of the driver's door. Our fleet technician took approximately 20 minutes to install the panel, but with more familiarity and reputation, I would expect this time to be reduced. The panel rode nicely and did not vibrate or generate any noticeable noise. It did not interfere with normal window and door locking operations. A small handle allowed the panel to be easily removed and theoretically transferred to another vehicle. After removal from the vehicle installation, the panel was tested at the range. Using a wooden frame for support and portability, the panel withstood various .38, .357, .40, and .44 caliber handgun rounds at 20 feet, as well as 12 gauge 00 buck and slug rounds. The panel failed to stop .223 and .308 rounds (which was anticipated.) Considering the rating was IIIA, the panel performed as expected. The panel was not range tested while installed in a vehicle door. Our testing showed that the panel performed as advertised and would be a worthwhile consideration when outfitting future squad cars.

The RISE carrier and Truth SNAP rifle plate are extremely comfortable and lightweight. I wear it every single night on patrol. In a perfect world, every officer would be issued the Truth SNAP rifle plates.
