Innovative New Police Equipment E-Commerce Platform From K3 Public Safety

Posted on: Friday, 5 December 2008, 11:20 CST

PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- K3 Public Safety's E-Commerce platform is now available to customers. Selling many of the industry's top brands, K3 is an Authorized Dealer for 5.11 Tactical, Danner Inc. and Blackhawk Products Group. In addition to its core product sales business selling police equipment and tactical gear, K3 will enhance the customer experience by providing specialized public safety sector content through its K3 Blog and partnership with Cygnus Business Media's Officer.Com website.

The combination of police equipment and tactical gear product sales and specialized content is unique in the industry and will allow K3's customers to make more informed buying decisions while increasing their professional knowledge base. K3's product lines include police and military duty and tactical clothing, uniform and military boots, duty belts and holders, police equipment such as batons, handcuffs and chemical agents, as well as flashlights and evidence collection equipment.

Through a partnership with Cygnus Business Media, K3 will display on its homepage Top Headlines from Officer.Com. K3 will also feature content from Officer.com such as webinars, product spotlights and other topics of interest to the law enforcement community. The K3 Blog is another unique feature that will spotlight leading subject matter experts from the law enforcement and military communities. K3 is pleased to introduce Jeff Gonzales from Trident Concepts as our first subject matter expert. Jeff will be blogging about Weapons and Tactics-related subject areas.

"Consumers in the police equipment and tactical gear markets are very sophisticated and have demanding product requirements," said John Kinnaman, President, K3 Public Safety. "It is not enough to just sell them products off the shelf. We think it is critical to provide the context and information that will allow them to purchase the right gear and perform their jobs safely and efficiently."

"We are pleased to be working with the K3 Public Safety team," said Matt Rogers, Publisher, Officer.Com. "They are bringing a fresh perspective to the market and will be in a position to raise the bar in terms of how products are sold in this market."

K3 will be marketing its E-Commerce platform nationwide to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The company is also targeting military units and private security services with a need for duty and tactical gear.

The company also offers a unique Membership Program which rewards members for frequent purchases and where a portion of the proceeds from sales to members, which varies depending on their program status, is donated to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
