The body armor was made locally in Fort Collins by Angel Armor. The gear is rifle resistant and donated with the assistance of the nonprofit Shield616. 

"This armor helps us make sure our deputies go home safe every day," Sheriff John Feyen said in a release. "I once had a spouse come up to me and tell me the best sound to hear, even at 2 a.m., was the sound of Velcro. 'That meant my loved one made it home safe.' And this gift will help ensure that our deputies continue to go home to their families."
