AMP-1 X selected
as primary ballistic helmet for the FBI.
We’re proud to share that Busch PROtective has once again been awarded the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) ballistic helmet contract.
In 2019, Busch PROtective made history when our AMP-1 TP became the first-ever ballistic helmet selected by the DOJ, meeting the DEA-FBI Ballistic Helmet Protocol for federal law enforcement — including the FBI, DEA, and U.S. Marshals.
Winning back-to-back with our AMP-1 X in year 2025 is more than just a success — it’s a confirmation of our commitment to innovation, officers’ safety, and advancing what ballistic helmets can achieve.
Shaping the future of law enforcement protection
When we first introduced the AMP-1 TP, there was no lightweight, law enforcement-specific ballistic helmet on the market.
We introduced a helmet that not only met the 1985 NIJ Level IIIA test, but also one that satisfies the strict European VPAM HVN 2009 standard.
This innovation helped influence the creation of the DEA-FBI Ballistic Helmet Testing Protocol V2.0-2024 — now one of the most demanding standards in the world.
Moving the industry forward
We’re proud that our innovations haven’t just raised performance standards — they’ve reshaped the ballistic helmet industry around the specific needs of law enforcement.
In 2019, the AMP-1 TP set a new standard by proving higher protection could be achieved without relying on military gear, launching a new category: ballistic helmets for law enforcement.
We redefined industry benchmarks by spotlighting the importance of backface deformation alongside penetration resistance.
With the AMP-1 X, we reduced weight while maintaining top-tier ballistic protection — a vital step forward.
And we’re not stopping there. Our ongoing developments aim to meet tomorrow’s challenges and raise safety standards even further.
At Busch PROtective, we don’t just make helmets — we push the boundaries of officer safety.
Experience the difference firsthand
Choosing the right ballistic helmet is a critical decision — and one that deserves real-world evaluation.
That’s why we offer law enforcement agencies the opportunity to test our helmets directly.
