Alpha Elite Black: Simply the Best!

APB Team Published January 8, 2016 @ 1:26 pm PST

If you’re a law enforcement officer in the U.S., chances are you’re wearing a Point Blank vest with Alpha Elite ballistics. Since the Alpha Elite Ballistic Series hit the market, Point Blank Enterprises has sold over 79,000 vests to U.S. law enforcement. Officers, troopers, and deputies at hundreds of agencies, including Chicago, Houston, Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the LAPD, Miami-Dade P.D., the NYPD, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, Orlando, San Antonio, Texas Department of Public Safety, Utah Highway Patrol, Washington D.C. Metro Police, and various federal agencies, to name a few, have all chosen Alpha Elite body armor to keep them safe.

Now the company has a new vest ready for action—the Alpha Elite Black. It provides the same level of protection as the Alpha Elite, but it is 17% lighter—something officers everywhere are celebrating.

“Point Blank strives to continuously lead the industry in the development of personal protection solutions,” noted Mike Foreman, the executive vice president at Point Blank Enterprises and a former law enforcement officer. “With the creation of Alpha Elite Black, a product that offers the highest level of protection at unparalleled weights, we are continuing to push the limits on design and innovation for the men and women who put their lives in danger to keep us safe.”

If you are attending the 2016 Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show), taking place January 19-22 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, check out this great new vest at the Point Blank booth. You’ll be glad you did.

For more information, visit the Point Blank website or email Mike Foreman at
