Our Philosophy in Short
Our Philosophy in Short
Our philosophy is simple: "Personal protection is our right and our responsibility!" When seconds count and police are minutes away, it is imperative that we are equipped with the tools we need to keep ourselves, and those we love, safe. With over 320 million people in the United States, and just over 1 million police officers, it is nearly impossible for a police officer to be in attendance at the exact moment we need them most. Therefore, it is our responsibility as citizens to obtain the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to protect our loved ones, defend ourselves, and survive an attack.
