Unbelievable statistics you need to know about the LEO nonprofit InVest USA | Law Enforcement Today

Not every nonprofit organization becomes successful. In fact, most well-intended people who start nonprofit organizations end up closing their doors once they realize how difficult it is and the amount of work it truly requires to be successful.

But that wasn't the case with Michael Letts and his nonprofit organization InVest USA, which provides free tactical vests to law enforcement officers and first responders. Letts started his nonprofit decades ago as a young politician after he was shocked to learn his local police department didn't provide their officers with vests. 

That was a long time ago. 

Since then, Letts' mission never wavered. And in the course of that time, his organization has compiled staggering statistics that would make even the most successful organization blush in amazement. 

And below are three of the most impressive stats that signify InVest USA’s success. 

1. InVest USA has been in operation for 32 years! No, it's not 3.2 years, it's not a typo of any kind - that's 32 years. 

For a nonprofit organization to be in operation for even five or 10 years is a testament to their success because many do not make it that far.

Most struggle with fundraising, they often only have part-time volunteers, and they underestimate just how difficult it really is. Unfortunately, they eventually disband the organization -  it's a sad but true reality. 

But not InVest USA. To be in operation for 32 years says everything about the wholesomeness of their mission and how successful Michael Letts is at achieving it. He puts InVest USA up there with the Red Cross, AARP, and the American Cancer Society.

2. Invest USA has donated over 13,500 vests to LEOs and first responders.

It is safe to say the average American understands that body armor is not cheap. They are designed and built to stop bullets and save our American heroes' lives. 

Since InVest USA has been in operation, they have evolved over the years to meet the needs of our police officers. This includes acquiring and providing tactical active shooter vests that are meant to stop high caliber rifle bullets. A vest of that quality easily runs into the hundreds of dollars. Multiply that by thousands.

Another question one must ask, out of 13,500+ vests, how many LEO lives were saved? 

3. InVest USA has collected over 2.8 million donations.

Countless police departments across the country have benefitted from InVest USA. They and those who support the law enforcement community have, in turn, supported InVest USA by contributing donations back to help the next person attain a vest. 

InVest USA is not slowing down. In fact, within that 32-year time span, they have expanded to include secondary charitable programs like Pennies for Police, a program that encourages kids to raise coin change to buy school resource officers vests.
