Nonprofit In-Vest USA has been saving police lives for decades - here's how

Anyone who works in government, whether local, state, or federal, knows that there is one universal truth – the budget is critical, and agencies have to spend as little money as possible. 

This is a hard truth with any publicly-funded organization. And that reality trickles down to the line workers. And in the context of law enforcement, that means the patrolmen and women of law enforcement. 

Police officers typically don’t get the latest and greatest equipment or advanced technology. And they may not even get an item most civilians assume is mandatory, like bulletproof vests. 

But for years, the nonprofit organization InVest USA has been stepping in to change that by providing officers and even first responders with vests, one hero at a time.
