Design, Features And Usage of Riot Shields

Riot shields are made of high-strength materials, such as polyethylene, aramid or metal alloys, which can effectively resist attacks from knives, sticks and other weapons.

What features are considered in the design of riot shields?

Anti riot shields are designed with practicality and durability in mind.

High-strength materials: Advanced composite materials or metal alloys, such as polyethylene, aramid or aluminum alloy, are used to ensure adequate protection.

Ergonomic design: The shape and size of the shield are suitable for human grip and operation, providing a comfortable grip and good control.

Protection range: Provides comprehensive protection, covering the head, chest and arms of the shield holder, reducing the risk of injury.

Transparent window: Many riot shields have a transparent window on the front, allowing the shield holder to observe the surrounding environment while maintaining protection.

Additional features: Some riot shields may be equipped with additional features, such as an integrated sprayer, stun gun interface or communication equipment to enhance law enforcement capabilities.

Easy to carry: Lightweight design, easy to deploy quickly and maneuver.

Customizability: Shields of different sizes, colors and logos can be customized according to different law enforcement needs and personal preferences.

Compliance: Comply with relevant safety standards and regulatory requirements to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of users.

When using riot shields, operators need to receive appropriate training to master the correct holding posture, protection skills and response strategies to ensure that they can effectively protect themselves and others in emergency situations.

How to use riot shields?

Riot shields refer to a defensive device similar to a medieval shield used by armed police, riot police or riot troops. Riot shields are used for training, fighting to resist knives, sticks, etc., and are used to push the opponent and protect themselves during riot control. It is a kind of protective equipment for security personnel and is generally used with riot sticks.

Riot shields are a multi-functional protective tool, mainly used for protection and attack. When using, you should hold the shield tightly with both hands, squat, look forward, and keep a vigilant posture, so that you can effectively protect yourself and be ready to counterattack.

Attack techniques include using shields to block, block left and right, hit and poke. When blocking, the left leg quickly takes a small step forward, and the right leg follows up. At the same time, both hands hold the shield tightly and quickly strike upward at a 45-degree angle, which can effectively block attacks such as daggers. When blocking left and right, use the shield to block according to the direction of attack. The collision technique is suitable for finding the right time and using the impact force of the shield to make the criminal lose balance. The stabbing technique is to hold the shield with both hands and poke the criminal's chest or other parts at a 45-degree angle from top to bottom to subdue the opponent.

The riot shield can be used with other tools such as riot sticks. For example, attacking with the shield with the left hand can increase the effect. During use, you should pay attention to maintaining a police appearance and posture, and take appropriate actions and strategies according to different situations.

What are the technical parameter requirements of riot shields?

Structure: The shield consists of a shield body and a gripping device. The shield body is made of 4.5mm thick PC board, and the thickness of the PC material used for the reinforced edges around the shield body is 6.5mm. The back is a gripping device consisting of a handle and an armband.

Shield logo: The front of the riot shield has the English "POLICE" font or other fonts corresponding to the gripping device position, which can be customized

Shield protection area ≥ 0.45㎡, light transmittance ≥ 88%, weight ≤ 3.1kg

Handle connection strength: The connection between the handle and the shield body should be able to withstand a tensile force of 500N, and there should be no breakage, loosening or falling off.

Impact resistance: The riot shield should be able to withstand the impact of 147J kinetic energy. After the impact, there should be no holes in the shield body stress point or cracks outside the stress point radius of 50mm. Puncture resistance.
