Kelowna, British Columbia – Several Canadian law enforcement agencies awarded PRE Labs, a leading manufacturer of Canadian-made survivability products, contracts to equip their officers with the Company’s advanced body armour solutions in Q1 of 2021. The contracts add to the growing number of agencies that have trusted PRE Labs to protect their personnel since its inception in 2016.

The Parliamentary Protective Service of Canada (PPS), the single security force protecting Parliament Hill in Ottawa, selected PRE Labs’ Denali™ Tactical Armour System and Pallaton™ Tactical Carriers. Both vests are outfitted with the Company’s proprietary QuickLoc™ Side Attachment System, which offers lightning-quick attachment and release due to its unique magnetic fasteners and pull release components. PRE Labs will also fulfill the department’s soft and hard body armour requirements in a multi-year contract with the Service.

The Service de police de l'agglomération de Longueuil (SPAL), also awarded PRE Labs a multi-year contract for both concealable and tactical carriers to their technical specifications along with the Company’s advanced, NIJ Certified soft body armour solutions.

In collaboration with PRE Labs distribution partner Valley Associates GSC, the City of Belleville, Ontario chose PRE Labs’ Pallaton™ Tactical Carriers and NIJ certified soft body armour to outfit their patrol officers. The City’s tactical team will also wear the Company’s Denali™ Tactical Armour System.

The City of Gatineau, Quebec selected PRE Labs’ Amaruq™ Tactical Armour System with additional Enhanced Modular Armour Protection (EMAP™) components and the Company’s new Adaptive Response Platform (ARP™) for comprehensive ballistic coverage of their Emergency Response Team. The tactical team will also deploy PRE Labs high-performance body armour and custom pouches to suit their specific requirements.

“We are thrilled to be welcome these prestigious agencies to the PRE Labs family”, said PRE Labs CEO, Brad Field. “Our team is immensely proud to be providing the essential protection these officers require to safely preform their duties and safeguard some of Canada’s greatest landmarks.
