Verco Materials
Verco Materials originated as a spin-off of high-performance boron carbide technology developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology. After a number of years of DOD-supported (Army Research Laboratory, Army Natick, NavAir, DARPA) development, they are pleased to offer a unique product for rifle protection of US law enforcement personnel.
The armor is based on an imbricated (nested together) pattern of carbon fiber-wrapped VercoB₄C™ tiles, encapsulated with and backed by layers of soft ballistic fabric. Their technologies are backed by numerous US and international patents, rigorous testing at nationally-certified ballistics laboratories, and NIJ Level III certification.
The armor, which draws into and molds to the body, is remarkably comfortable, permits freedom of movement, shows enhanced multi-hit capabilities, and has customizable, extended and continuous coverage options.
Recently, they’ve adapted the technology to develop a rollable, quick deployable, lightweight rifle shield. Multi-hit capable against M80, M43, and M855 threats, it can be stored or slung in a small, discrete rolled footprint, easily deployed when needed.
Every individual in law enforcement has a different role to play. For Verco’s armor systems, any size, coverage, and design can be custom-made to the measurements and needs of each member of the law enforcement team.
Their products are manufactured in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia.

VirTra
VirTra provides law enforcement agencies with immersive training simulators to deliver a lifelike experience that is transferrable to the field. Each simulated scenario covers vital topics such as active threats, de-escalation, mental illness, and more. VirTra’s simulators are used in 40 countries – this includes the associated hardware such as drop-in recoil kits, less-lethal tools, and consequence feedback devices.
VirTra’s goal is to ensure that the officers who serve and protect our communities go home safely each night. By training in a realistic environment that evokes an adrenaline response and prepares them for split-second decisions, law enforcement officers can feel more confident in their skills. In turn, the community will be safer and feel greater trust in those who serve and protect them.
To ensure immersion and skill transfer, video-based scenarios are filmed with professional equipment and reviewed by subject matter experts before they reach an agency’s simulator. The content goes beyond a simple ‘shoot-don’t-shoot’ concept. Each scenario has an average of 85 branching options – most of which do not involve the officer using deadly force. There are options to verbally de-escalate, and the on-screen character will respond according to the officer’s words and actions.
Officers also have access to a marksmanship program with real-world ballistics. It is easy for instructors to set up their own custom simulated range where everything from the targets to weather conditions can be adjusted. With recoil kits installed in officers’ duty weapons and accurate ballistics, it is the perfect supplement to live fire training.
