Comprehensive Data, Invaluable Insights

It’s all too easy to read a shocking news article and make a decision on impulse. Sure, window film might be affordable and ready-to-ship, but will it really stand up to a ballistic threat? (No.) Should your school’s doors be able to withstand shots from a handgun? An AR-10? How can you tell you’re getting the right product for your situation? 

We answer these questions in the context of national data from trusted sources, including the FBI, Secret Service, and National Institute of Justice.
