Breast Cancer Awareness Badges and Insignia

Although October is Breast Cancer awareness month, there are many walks and benefits that occur throughout the year where law enforcement professionals can show they care by wearing pink. The product line was developed last year to raise money for, and bring awareness to, the fight against cancer. The line has been a tremendous success!

The Blackinton® line consists of seven of our most popular badges, lapel pins, and commendation bars. The badges have a vibrant pink finish and can be personalized with the engraving of your choice. If a pink badge is too bold consider a more subtle way to show your support by teaming a Blackinton® badge, in the finish of your choice, with a Breast Cancer seal.

Click Here to see our 2 page flyer. The badges are available on our online interactive badge builder Design-a-Badge, www.blackinton.com/design-a-badge. As part of this initiative Blackinton® is donating 10% of sales to Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation and the Firefighter Cancer Support Network. For additional details about this program visit a participating dealer in your area.

New Product - SOV Quick Release

The Special Operations Vest (SOV) Quick Release, was designed to provide a single-point, quick ditch capability during boating operations or airborne operations over water. The quick release aspect of this vest allows the user to rapidly escape from the weight of body armor and/or rifle plates with a single pull from a concealed webbing loop releasing a number of different attachment buckles instantaneously. The vest also has the secondary advantage of allowing a first responder or team medic to have quick access to the injury or gunshot wound of a downed officer when seconds count in rendering immediate aid.

The SOV Quick Release is available in both the NIJ 0101.06 Certified or the NIJ 0101.04/.05 Certified armor packages offered by U.S. Armor, including the lightweight and comfortable Enforcer 5000 and Enforcer XLT blends. The outer carrier is made of durable 500 Denier Nylon CORDURA® material and offers the MOLLE webbing attachment system on the front, back and sides of the vest for attaching additional modular holsters, med kits, or ammo pouches.

Other standard features of this vest include:
- Front/back 10" x 12" rifle plate pockets
- Left/right 6" x 6" side plate pockets
- Wrap-around NIJ Level IIIA ballistic protection
- Dual M4/AR15 magazine pouches in front cummerbund
- 300 lb. capacity rear drag bar for rescue operations
- Dual side, detachable weapon retention

Optional Features
• Rifle Plates (Ceramic, Steel, or new lightweight Polyethylene)
• Removable ballistic bicep/groin/throat/coccyx protection
• Tactical Carry Bag for gear transport
• Removable and modular gear, ammo, equipment pouches
• Police/Sheriff or other embroidered VELCRO® ID patches
