MEDIA RELEASE:
Pacific Safety Products Celebrates Two Milestones
On September 21, 2005 PSP and the Montreal Police Special Operations Division celebrated a life saved by a PSP Vest. Dan Ripchensky, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing presented a new tactical vest to one of the Montreal Urban Community Police SWAT team members. The new armour replaced a PSP vest that absorbed the impact of a bullet during a recent police action.

“Our tactical vest did everything it was expected to do in such a situation and while the officer was bruised, he was very much alive and well and deeply grateful for the quality of our products.” says Mr. Ripchensky. “All of us at PSP have one primary objective which is to do everything required to allow all who have to respond to critical and hostile situations the opportunity to accomplish their mission and be alive and well at its completion. This was a terrific example of how PSP contributes to the real world.”

One day earlier, a ceremony was held to present the Department of National Defence (DND) with the First Issue Release of the Canadian Military Fragmentation Protection Vest (FPV). The event was attended by members of the Department of National Defence, members of various Government Agencies, the Mayor of Arnprior – Terry Gibeau, supplier representatives, local business leaders, and PSP employees.

Brad Field, Vice-Chairman of PSP, presented to Brigadier General Giguère, Director General Land Equipment Program Management, the First Issue Fragmentation vest. Brigadier General Giguère in turn presented the vest to Brigadier General Christopher Davis, currently Director General Land Capability Development. General Davis then provided Fragmentation Protection Vests to four solders in attendance from CFB Petawawa 2 nd Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. The ceremony was held at PSP's Arnprior , Ontario facility where the vest is being manufactured.

“This represents a real milestone for the Company and continues to build the history of a strong and successful relationship between PSP and DND.” says Mr. Field. “We were honoured to officially release the FPV to the Army and its soldiers. The ceremony itself had a huge impact and really drove home to us all the importance of the work we are doing.”

The Fragmentation Protection Vest is being built by PSP under contract to the Department of National Defence. The current contract is valued at $24.1 million with options for a potential additional $8 million. To date PSP has delivered approximately 10,000 vests to the Canadian Military.
