Paraclete Armor and Equipment, Inc. and Strategos International LLC. have entered into a strategic partnership for the specific purpose of distributing Paraclete’s Armor and related Equipment to the Law Enforcement community.

Paraclete's design expertise has been developed over two decades of design, develop-ment and engineering work with the US military. Personnel at Fort Bragg and the USMC (and others) are currently using this armor.

Tim D'Annunzio, Paraclete's founder and president began his career as a member of the
US Army as a parachute rigger and infantryman. During his military career Tim also served as a Military Free Fall Instructor and as a member of the Army Parachute Team
(The Golden Knights) as both a demonstration parachutist and competition parachutist.

After his military service, Tim was employed by Martin-Marietta Aerospace at the Kennedy Space Center to work on parachute systems that are use on the solid rocket boosters for the Space Shuttle program. Tim then started his own business specializing in the design and production of products for the military and sport parachute markets.

Mr. D'Annunzio also worked as a designer/engineer on the SIPE (Soldiers Integrated Protective Ensemble) a high profile military developmental programs with the US Army's Soldier System Center, located at Natick Massachusetts.

Mr. D'Annunzio's designs were used as the basis for mostly all of the military's personnel equipment that is now being fielded to all of the services. Some of these systems are the MOLLE, SPEAR, AIRSAVE, Interceptor and the Combat Medical Vest.

Paraclete currently uses a computer aided design system for all of its design work. This system allows the input of existing hard patterns through a digitizing system or the development of new designs within the computer. These state of the art systems enable Paraclete to more efficiently and accurately develop new designs or to refine and rework
any existing designs.

Recently Vaughn Baker, the Vice President of Strategos International visited new facility and was overwhelmed with Paraclete’s commitment to producing the high-quality armor
on the market today. Paraclete’s core values parallel those of Strategos in that both companies ethos revolve around the end user, those that go into harms way.

Paraclete will be a partner in our new “Mobile Mall”, which is our new 36’ custom trailer that will support our various training commitments around the country.

Strategos International is proud to be associated with this excellent company and looks forward to serving you in the near future.
