PEORIA, ARIZ. (Oct. 1, 2024) – FSJ Tactical, a leader in perimeter safety solutions, is proud to announce it has been selected and awarded a $6.4 million contract with the El Paso Independent School District (EPISD), the largest of three school districts in El Paso, Texas.
FSJ Tactical provides school districts and government entities in Texas and throughout the region with bullet-resistant wall panels, bullet-resistant window film, and perimeter fencing.
EPISD is the largest district in the Texas Education Agency’s Educational Service Center, Region 19. With nearly 50,000 students on 84 campuses, EPISD also is the 12th largest district in Texas and the 61st largest district in the U.S. It also is El Paso’s largest employer with nearly 9,000 employees and has an annual operating budget of $542 million.
This is the third school district in El Paso County to contract FSJ Tactical for its perimeter solutions. Contracts with Socorro ISD (more than 50 campuses) and Clint ISD (10 campuses) were completed earlier this year.
“As the number of students reporting fear of a potential active shooter situation continues to increase each year, we are proud to provide peace of mind to facility occupants at the two largest school districts in El Paso,” said FSJ Tactical COO and Owner Fernando Mendez.
“This approach supports valuable teacher retention and differentiates our commitment to safety. That two of the three largest school districts in El Paso put the safety of their students, teachers, and staff in our hands says a lot for the reputation of FSJ Tactical,” Mendez said.
FSJ Tactical’s groundbreaking glass film technology, Safe Haven Defense, was originally developed by a former law enforcement officer with first-hand experience in the outcomes of poor threat protection.
To develop its revolutionary ballistic resistant wall panels, it took building experts to refine the process of systems design, customization, fulfillment, and installation across the U.S. Ultimate facility protection can be applied to any existing wall, even historic buildings with surface shapes of all sizes.
The founders of FSJ Tactical are career contracting experts who work with their clients at the manufacturer level to understand the benefits of ballistic resistance in walls and windows.
