In a significant move to bolster student safety, BP Defence has officially launched its e-commerce platform, bpdefence.com, making advanced bullet-resistant backpacks readily accessible to families and schools across the United States. This innovative safety solution deploys in under 2 seconds and weighs less than 5 pounds, marking a substantial advancement in practical protection for students of all ages.
Founded by Jesse Erdle, a father passionate about safeguarding future generations, BP Defence redefines student safety by prioritizing empowerment and confidence over fear. The company’s flagship product is equipped with dual-panel NIJ IIIA-certified protection, constructed with Spectra Shield® technology from Honeywell. This ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber is 15 times stronger than steel, yet lightweight and comfortable enough for everyday use.
“As a father and innovator, I’ve dedicated my life to potentially saving the lives of children,” said Jesse Erdle, Founder and CEO of BP Defence. “We’re providing families with the tools to feel confident and prepared. Our mission is simple: ensure every child can focus on being a kid—learning and growing—backed by protection that’s there if ever needed.”
