Ofc. Scarlyn Portillo, Police Officer

"Alexa and Mark have demonstrated a level of care and thoughtfulness when it comes to the safety of Law Enforcement. They explain not only the benefits of the equipment they provide, but also the science that supports its effectiveness. The Red Carpet Treatment and constant communication has been great!
