Developed for the Strathclyde police for use as a fast response shield in dealing with domestic and street violence incidents.

The shield is ideally suited to tactics where a fast response is required for intervention in violent incidents. The backing panel is specially lengthened to cover almost the full height of the shield to give a total of 6mm of vital area cover in order to protect against knife, machete or axe attack.

Small enough to fit in the boot of a car, it is fully interlocking with all other Armadillo shields and survives extensive impact from thrown objects and petrol bombs.
