NIJ-Certified Body Armor for Ohio Law Enforcement
At Palisades Group, we understand the challenges Ohio officers face every day—whether you are patrolling Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, or a rural county. The one piece of gear no officer should compromise on is NIJ-certified armor.
We proudly supply Ohio law enforcement agencies with trusted, NIJ-compliant armor solutions that meet federal safety standards and Ohio procurement requirements.
Why Ohio Agencies Need NIJ-Certified Armor
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) sets the national standard for ballistic protection. When Ohio police departments and sheriff’s offices purchase NIJ-certified armor, they ensure:
- Officer Protection – Proven performance against ballistic threats.
- Grant Eligibility – Required for most DOJ, BJA, and Ohio OCJS funding programs.
- Procurement Compliance – Meets Ohio state purchasing requirements for law enforcement gear.
If your armor is not NIJ-certified, it may not qualify for funding — and more importantly, it may not provide the protection Ohio officers need.
Where Ohio Agencies Can Buy NIJ-Certified Armor
1. Ohio Body Armor Suppliers (Local Advantage)
Working with an Ohio-based tactical supplier like Palisades Group gives agencies:
- Faster shipping and delivery statewide
- Direct sizing, fitting, and product support
- Knowledge of Ohio law enforcement procurement contracts
- Guidance with grants and funding assistance
We serve police departments, sheriff’s offices, and tactical teams across Ohio with certified armor solutions.
2. Ohio Statewide Procurement Contracts
Many Ohio agencies purchase through state contracts that include NIJ-certified vendors. We work with departments to simplify this process and ensure compliance.
3. Federal and State Funding for Ohio Law Enforcement Armor
Through SAM.gov, DOJ programs, and Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services (OCJS) grants, agencies can often offset the cost of new armor. We provide documentation and support to help departments secure this funding.
Choosing the Right NIJ-Certified Armor for Ohio Officers
Every department in Ohio has unique needs. We help agencies choose armor based on:
- NIJ Threat Levels (IIIA, III, IV)
- Patrol vs. SWAT/Tactical missions
- Weight, mobility, and officer comfort for long Ohio shifts
- Warranty and replacement schedules to fit department budgets
