MTS - Multi Threat Shield Receives Gold Level National Tactical Officers Assocation Member Tested and Recommended Rating
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 07, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- After being submitted to the National Tactical Officers Association Member Tested and Recommended Program, the MTS(TM) - Multi Threat Shield received a Gold Level rating from program testers. The MTS(TM) - Multi Threat Shield is the lightest, most discreet, compact, versatile, and affordable ballistic shield of its kind. Testers found the shield to be useful for a variety of operations ranging from patrol officers to detectives, as well as school resource officers and tactical operations. It received a near perfect score (4.94/5) and the MTS was awarded the right to display the Gold Level Member Tested Logo.
Weighing only 7lbs., the MTS has applications in many environments. Whether the threat is an armed suspect or an active shooter, a quick flick of the wrist swiftly deploys a 3-foot long shield of protection. Officers who tested the MTS noted that it is easy to move around with, even when crawling or sprinting, and found the MTS to be more maneuverable due to its size, lighter weight and easy to hold for extended periods of time compared to other shields. In addition, officers noted its compact design enables the MTS to be easily stored in multiple locations of a police vehicle for immediate access, including within arm's reach on the front seat.
The ultra-discreet appearance of the MTS shield allows the user to store and carry it in plain sight, as well as covertly respond to a potential threat and not alert both suspect and bystanders to unwarranted alarm. This is perfect for undercover operations, school and university settings, patrol applications, and protective operations (executive/dignitary protection). In the event of a physical attack the MTS can be used to protect one or more people from any angle including overhead.
The MTS utilizes a seamless one-piece folding design. Its primary use is protection against threats from firearms. However, the MTS is a true multi-threat shield - the laminated ballistic material and 1680 Denier nylon cover also offers protection from attacks with edged weapons and blunt objects, as well as punches and kicks. The MTS was successfully tested by a National Institute of Justice approved laboratory for Level IIIA ballistic resistance (Level III with optional Rifle Plate), and does not fold or bend when shot.
The MTS is designed for everyday carry. To enhance its practicality, it includes an expandable utility pouch with covert access and interior hook/loop field, which offers the ability to carry a wide range of equipment and accessories that may be needed for a life-threatening response. It can be deployed with a shoulder strap that allows the user to use one hand or let go of the shield and perform vital functions like reloading and weapons manipulations, as well as rescues. The ability of the shield to go into "hands free" mode and then be redeployed has never been available in other ballistic shield.
The MTS measures 12 by 17.5 inches when closed. When the shield is deployed, the MTS can protect an area that is 36.5 by 17.5 inches. The MTS is currently used by major law enforcement agencies and security units including the United States Marshal's Service, Capitol Police, United States Supreme Court Police, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, United States Federal Reserve Police, Missouri State Highway Patrol, and Florida Department of Law Enforcement, among others.
The MTS is available for $995 for the standard Level IIIA shield. An optional Level III rifle plate can be added to increase the type of weapons the MTS(TM) can defend against for a total price of $1,694. Law enforcement and bulk order discount pricing is available. For more information and purchasing: https://multithreatshield.com
