The IFAK Initiative funds duty-belt trauma kits for active law enforcement officers — at cost, with no markup, distributed transparently through a 501(c)(3) partner. Officers join a free waitlist. Donors and sponsors fund the kits, one officer at a time.
Hemorrhage is the #1 preventable cause of trauma death. The treatment is a $50 piece of gear that fits on a duty belt. The data is unambiguous — and the equipment gap is real.
EMS response times in most American jurisdictions are 7 to 10 minutes — and longer in rural counties. A femoral artery wound can drain a body in under 300 seconds. The officer on scene is the first responder, every time. The question isn't whether they have the training. It's whether they have the gear.
A custom kit assembled by ViTAC for this initiative. Duty-belt sized, MARCH-aligned, no fluff. Every component is the same brand and standard our paying customers receive — because we don't believe officers should get the cheaper version.
One submission per officer. We use your work email to verify active duty — no documents, no agency forms, no department-level approvals required. Just you, doing the job. We notify the next officers in line at the start of every month.
First name and your department email. Takes 30 seconds. You're on the list, time-stamped.
When funding is in place and your name comes up, we email you. We then ask only for a department shipping address.
Your duty-belt IFAK ships directly to your department. No paperwork, no strings, no obligation.
All donations are processed through Project Overwatch (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit) and earmarked for the IFAK Initiative. Tax-deductible. Itemized receipts on request.
The math is simple: $50 puts one full IFAK on the duty belt of one active officer. Everything you give is tax-deductible through our 501(c)(3) partner.
Corporate sponsors fund kits in bulk and receive public recognition on this page, in initiative emails, and in quarterly impact reports. We work with your CSR team to structure something meaningful.
ViTAC partnered with Project Overwatch — a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving veterans, law enforcement, and firefighters — so this initiative isn't us writing checks to ourselves. Donations go through them. Tax receipts come from them. The audit trail belongs to them.
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting veterans, law enforcement, and firefighters with equipment, training, and hardship support.
A sponsor's contribution is the difference between an officer being on a waitlist and an officer being equipped. We name them here, in initiative communications, and in our quarterly impact reports.

Reach out to info@vitacsolutions.com and we'll work with you. The rule exists to prevent fraud, not to exclude legitimate officers.
No. One email = one submission. Each officer must enter individually. This keeps the waitlist fair and verifiable.
It depends on funding. We notify the next officers in line at the start of every month. The waitlist counter at the top of this page reflects the current backlog.
Yes — donations are processed through Project Overwatch, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. They issue your tax receipt directly.
Project Overwatch handles the money. ViTAC handles assembly and shipping at-cost. We publish quarterly impact reports — kits distributed, agencies served, dollars in vs. kits out. Donors can request the full distribution record at any time.
That's our actual at-cost build price for the duty-belt configuration: tourniquet, hemostatic gauze, chest seals, ETD, gloves. Retail comparable is roughly twice that. ViTAC takes no margin on initiative kits.
A windlass tourniquet, hemostatic gauze, vented chest seals, an emergency trauma dressing, and nitrile gloves. Duty-belt sized, MARCH-aligned. See "What You're Funding" above for the full breakdown.
Every $50 puts a tourniquet on a duty belt. Every officer who joins the waitlist is one more line of defense. Pick your side of this — both move the needle.
