1 .Law enforcement agencies buy chemical+impact munitions (flash-bangs, tear gas, foam rounds etc.) from a number of manufacturers and suppliers in the US/Canada. This thread is to help us all get better acquainted with the companies who provide the police with chemical weapons.

2. Some questions - How do manufacturing facilities get their supplies delivered? How are finished munitions being transported and delivered to LE? Are unionized workers involved in this process? Any disruption in the transportation process would be...disruptive.

3. Safariland LLC is a manufacturer with “19 brands and has estimated revenue of over $500 million”. Up until June 2020, their brands included Defense Technology, who we know from all the flavors of Triple-Chaser® gas and smoke. https://www.safariland.com/
