Stand1st is a nonprofit organization that provides support and assistance to law enforcement agencies. We meet our mission specifically through the donation of Ballistic Shields to agencies in need.
While many of our efforts have been focused on the Northeast Oklahoma area since we were founded nearby - we are a nationally focused organization that can assist agencies large and small.
For most agencies - a steel shield is a good fit. They have a virtually unlimited lifespan, will not deform in the heat of a parked patrol vehicle and provide good protection at a reasonable cost per unit.
We also have access to composite shields. These shields are more expensive than a steel shield though they are typically less weight for the same bodily coverage.
We will work with your agency to determine the best fit for your team and the threats they are likely to come into contact with in the field.

Yes! When you are making a donation, you can direct funds to a specific department. If for example, you donate $500 and you have two friends each donate $250 - the total of $1,000 will provide a shield for your local police department.
The $1,000 shield package includes a steel Rifle Rated Ballistic Shield that can be used to protect not only officers but also bystanders during a Critical Event. Additional options such as a carry case, light attachments and other items can be included for those agencies in need.
Yes, School Resource Officers (SRO) are another group that we assist with ballistic shields. You can donate a shield towards your children or grandchildren's school - simply let us know when you make your donation or drop us a line to discuss some ideas on school fundraisers focused on safety and shields.
