SafetyBook International and Intelligence Consulting Partners Announce Strategic Alliance

April 8, 2009 - PRLog -- BOCA RATON, FL - SafetyBook International (“SafetyBook”), the recognized leader in portable body armor systems and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Sjoman Bjorn Corporation (“Sjoman Bjorn”) and Intelligence Consulting Partners, LLC (ICP), the nationally acclaimed law enforcement training experts, today announced a broad strategic alliance centered on ICP’s endorsement of the SafetyBook® Spartan II portable body armor system and ICP’s commitment to deliver a comprehensive family of specialized training programs fostered to the active school shooter tactical response.

As part of today's announcement, ICP is embracing SafetyBook® as a mainstream consumer safety provider and the SafetyBook® Spartan II as a life saving solution for active shooter defense. In a joint press conference in South Florida today, executives from both companies announced a SafetyBook® OEM agreement enabling ICP to distribute and support the SafetyBook® Spartan II to its customer base as market opportunities arise.

"This alliance will substantially expand the volume opportunity of the SafetyBook® Spartan II and enable ICP's training program to offer the most secure, portable and affordable consumer body armor system available today," said Mark Fitzsimmons, SafetyBook®’s CEO and inventor of the original SafetyBook® bullet resistant book. "With ICP’s significant market presence, SafetyBook® will be available to new customers and have the chance to expand in existing accounts. And as the worldwide community of SafetyBook® customers continues to grow throughout the world, ICP training programs will expand as well."

Certified by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to defend against small arms gunfire including .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum, .40S&W, .45ACP, 9MM and small-arms submachine gun rounds, the less-than-two-pound SafetyBook® is designed to be placed within a consumers tote bag (briefcase, duty bag, messenger bag, backpack etc.) and held up-to-and-in-front-of the bearers chest to prevent life threatening injuries from massacre styled gunshot fire.
