Everyday Functionality. Rapid Access to Ballistic Protection.

The Citizen Armor Guardian Rapid Response Shield – Dry Erase Board combines the familiar appearance and everyday utility of a dry erase board with the purpose-built functionality of a portable ballistic shield.

Designed for environments where protective equipment must remain accessible without dominating the appearance of a room, the Guardian Rapid Response Shield offers a discreet approach to emergency preparedness, workplace security, and ballistic protection.

With its dual-purpose design, the shield can function as a dry erase board during routine activities while providing a portable protective barrier when needed during an emergency.

Important Ballistic Protection Information

Ballistic resistance depends on the specific shield model, tested threat classification, impact location, orientation, condition, and coverage area.

NIJ RF1 and legacy Level III are not identical classifications. Customers should review the manufacturer's current ballistic testing documentation to understand the exact threats against which this product has been evaluated.

A ballistic shield provides protection only within its tested coverage area and does not guarantee protection against every projectile or impact.

Manufacturer-reported ballistic testing should not be represented as formal NIJ certification unless the specific product is covered by an applicable NIJ certification program.
