One World Outdoor Gear’s Safety-Focused School Program

In a world where school shootings are a semi-regular news topic, it can feel frustrating to try and protect young learners when policies, procedures, facilities, and other important aspects of safety seem out of your control. Even so, education is an invaluable resource, and students shouldn’t have to live in fear because they lack the ability to react effectively in the event of a crisis. That’s why One World Outdoor Gear offers schools and districts in the New York metropolitan area access to our bulletproof backpack inserts.

These products offer a high level of protection -- comparable with the equipment used by police. Made in four sizes, they fit almost any backpack and can be customized as part of our partnership with schools that value safety. 

When paired with effective measures from the administration and preparation from concerned parents, these supplemental self-defense devices provide actionable steps that kids can take in an emergency. Unlike many other methods of protection, they also don’t increase risk or disrupt education by being present in schools. If you’re looking for ways to help yourself and your students feel safer, these make ideal investments that add a personal layer of defense when it’s needed most.
