'Situational armor' aimed at mass killing incidents, showcased at NTOA conference
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. - PrAtlas -- Integris Composites, a global leader in armor protection for military, police and security, today introduced a ballistic shield designed for storage in schools to provide police protective equipment during active shooter incidents.
The Campus Response Shield, rated Level III+, debuted at the National Tactical Officers Association annual conference and trade show along with two other tactical shields, at Booth 825 in the Gaylord National Resort exhibit hall.
"This is the first time we've exhibited directly to law enforcement and the first tactical shield developed specifically for U.S. agencies," said Kim McNeely, director of business development.
The Campus Response Shield is part of the emerging "situational armor" category—physical protection pre-installed in public spaces vulnerable to assaults or terrorist attacks. In January, Integris introduced the Concealed Response Shield System, featuring a shield hidden in a cabinet for rapid access by police and security personnel responding to an active shooter.
The new shield is being offered to school officials in Texas, where state law now requires every public and open-charter school to keep at least one ballistic shield on campus. The Uvalde Strong Act, enacted in June, mandates improvements to school safety infrastructure—including ballistic shields—and updated response protocols. The law, effective Sept. 1, was passed after the 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

"Today, Integris is not only working closely with public-interest organizations to address school violence, but we're also engaging SWAT teams and other government organizations to develop innovative protection during attacks. We believe our contribution to situational armor is essential to protect innocent people," McNeely said.
Three police shields launched
The 10-pound Campus Response Shield is the lightest of three Level III ballistic shields introduced to U.S. law enforcement today. Integris also presented the 13-pound Level III Fuse Shield for rapid deployment teams and the 20.9-pound Magnetic Shield, engineered for instant attachment to doors or vehicles.
All three shields meet National Institute of Justice Standard 0101.06 ballistic threat ratings.
Our competitive advantage is not only the lower cost of these shields compared to similar products, but also the product development with direct input by operators," said Tristan Cordova, director of business development.
"The composite Campus Response Shield is compact and lightweight, optimized for mobility and offers multi-strike stopping power against the three threats that qualify it as offering NIJ Level III+ protection," Cordova said.
The shield is tested to stop:
