About Safariland

A History of Excellence

Legacy. Tradition. Excellence. To some, these may be mere words, remnants of a time when companies embraced their history and delivered on their promises. 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. We live them when we help save lives. Our Safariland Saves Club® has chronicled over 2,034 individuals whose lives have been saved in part through using our products. We're proud of who we are and what we do.

The Safariland Group's rich heritage didn't become what it is today simply from assimilating many protective product brands into one organization. Our Company has grown from our collective pledge to achieve excellence and our commitment to focus on the customer first. It is a common thread that binds us together on our journey. 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. And Together, We Save Lives™.
