But, at The Safariland Group we live those values every day. We live them when we empower over a thousand people to design, engineer, research and deliver our protective equipment products to those that protect us. We live them as we continuously seek new innovations to add to the premier group of Safariland brands that have been protecting law enforcement, military and security professionals for over 50 years.

It has gotten us to where we are today. From one brand's small-town beginnings to another born from the love of a son to his father - this is OUR Company. This is The Safariland Group.
