The Exec Defense Interlocking Anti-Riot Shield is a transparent polycarbonate riot shield engineered for crowd-control and protest-response operations. At 0.18" thick with 95% sunlight transparency, the shield provides clear sightlines while resisting non-ballistic, hand-held anti-impact threats. Indented edges on each shield allow adjacent units to interlock, letting a team build a continuous riot-barrier wall quickly in the field. Available in three sizes — Small (47" x 21.5"), Medium (63" x 21.5"), and Large (70" x 21.5").

Who this is for

• Law enforcement and corrections teams needing rapid, connectable barrier formation during protest or riot operations.
• Security contractors and special units requiring durable impact-resistant coverage with unobstructed forward visibility.
• Government and municipal agencies procuring GSA-listed equipment under contract number 47QSWA21D0010.

Coverage area and construction

Each shield is formed from strong, transparent polycarbonate rated at approximately 0.18" thickness. The material transmits 95% of available sunlight, keeping the operator's view of the scene clear even in bright outdoor conditions. Three size options address different deployment roles: the Small (47" x 21.5") suits individual officers in confined spaces, the Medium (63" x 21.5") balances coverage and maneuverability in open formations, and the Large (70" x 21.5") maximizes barrier height for front-line crowd-control positions.

The indented-edge profile on all three sizes is the defining feature of this shield line. Officers can lock adjacent shields together edge-to-edge, forming a continuous barrier wall without gaps — a meaningful advantage when holding a perimeter against surging crowds.

Weight and mobility

The user-facing side of the shield carries an additional polycarbonate reinforcement layer integrated with the handle system. An EVA-foam arm pad attaches to this backer, reducing fatigue during extended hold positions. The handle and arm pad arrangement allows single-handed deployment, leaving the officer's secondary hand free.

Viewport and design features

Because the entire shield face is transparent polycarbonate, there is no separate viewport — the officer maintains a full, unobstructed view of the area in front of the shield at all times. The front face accepts customized inscriptions (unit markings, agency logos, warning text) on request. Anti-laser strip options are available; contact us for a quote. The shield is compatible with FoxFury's attachable shield light for low-light operations.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

Is this shield ballistic-rated?

No. This shield is rated for non-ballistic, hand-held anti-impact threats. It is designed for riot and crowd-control operations and does not carry an NIJ ballistic rating. For ballistic-rated shield options, contact us.

How does the interlocking system work?

Each shield has indented edges on both sides. When officers stand side by side and press the shields together, the edges slot into each other, creating a continuous barrier wall with no gaps between shields. No tools or hardware are required to interlock them.

What sizes are available, and how do I choose?

It depends on your deployment role. The Small (47" x 21.5") works in corridors and confined spaces. The Medium (63" x 21.5") is the general-purpose option for open formations. The Large (70" x 21.5") provides maximum height for front-line barrier positions. Contact us if you need help selecting the right size for your unit's application.

Can this shield be customized with agency markings?

Yes. Custom inscriptions are available on the front face of the shield. Anti-laser strips can also be added. Contact us for customization options and bulk pricing.
