That person may be a patrol officer, firefighter, school resource officer or first responder in a small department. That brings Jersey Tactical back to the same principle from which it began. “If you can’t get in, you can’t save anyone.” Preparedness Is Also About Where the Equipment Is Dapkins and Klementowicz have argued for years that patrol officers are often the people who must act first during an active-shooter event. “Patrol is the answer,” Dapkins says. That thinking helped lead to another Jersey Tactical innovation: the patented Emergency Response Locker. The premise is straightforward: critical equipment should already be where responders are likely to need it.
“Equipment has to be staged,” Klementowicz says.
If a responder needs breaching equipment, medical supplies, a shield or another critical tool, every trip back outside costs time. Positioning equipment throughout a facility can dramatically shorten that distance.
“You go from delayed response to instant response with what you need for that emergency,” he says.
For school districts, municipalities and public-safety leaders, that changes the procurement conversation.
Purchasing emergency equipment is one part of preparedness. Ensuring responders can actually reach
that equipment when seconds matter is another. The End User Built the Reputation WWW.JERSEYTACTICAL.COM
