Developed for the Strathclyde police for use as a fast response shield in dealing with domestic and street violence incidents.

The shield is ideally suited to tactics where a fast response is required for intervention in violent incidents. The backing panel is specially lengthened to cover almost the full height of the shield to give a total of 6mm. of vital area cover in order to protect against knife, machete or
axe attack. Small enough to fit in the boot of a car, it is fully interlocking with all other Armadillo shields and survives extensive impact from thrown objects and petrol bombs. Its design and configuration make it ideally suited to straight arm C & R tactics, such as angry man cell
removal and crowd pushing.

The shield has a 4mm thick clear LEXAN POLYCARBONATE front blade and a 3mm thick backing panel in the same material for maximum visibility and vital body area protection. It has two lightweight aluminium loop handles with non-slip rubber grips for comfortable carry and secure hand grip in action. The backing panel has a shock resistant foam forearm protective pad.
