Vector Tools

What Is the Vector Protective Barrier?

The Vector is a life-saving de-escalation tool that can be used as a barrier to protect the public, while used as a shield to protect the police officer.

The Vector is the world’s first true de-escalation tool designed to create a peaceful interaction between the police and the public. It does this by providing a de-escalation barrier used in conjunction with De-Escalation Training so both citizens and officers can interact peacefully while both are protected.

Team-specific training is available with each purchase
Each shield is serial numbered inside the ballistic coating
Covers, slings, and bags sold separately

Police officers have unfortunately been recorded by cell phones in the acts of pointing or raising their hands in what appears to be aggressive behavior to the public. These videos can unintentionally mislead the public into thinking police are acting aggressively even when they are not. Even though directional hand movements are a part of police work, the public may misconstrue these movements as aggressive acts.

A police officer being recorded while holding a Vector will appear less menacing and more in-control to the public because he or she is maintaining distance and establishing a demarcation safety zone. Officers will now be able to keep the public protected by a de-escalation barrier while the officers themselves are also protected at the same time by the same brightly colored, non-threatening de-escalation barrier.

The Vector helps to de-escalate the use of force by providing a protective barrier between law enforcement and the public in confrontational situations. By de-escalating a situation, the Vector decreases the chance of injury or death occurring to an officer, civilian, or family pet. The Vector is your only portable Level III line of defense against active shooters.
