Tact Squad

What Tact Squad does

Tact Squad is a U.S. uniform manufacturer operated by Amwear USA and headquartered at 250 N. Benjamin Court in Corona, California. The company designs, manufactures, and sells professional uniforms, outerwear, and accessories for law enforcement agencies, private security firms, corrections departments, and emergency medical services. Its product portfolio spans shirts, trousers, motor breeches, blazers, Ike jackets, duty and raid jackets, sweaters, safety vests, bike patrol uniforms, and accessories, with department-specific certified product lines for NYPD, LAPD, California Highway Patrol, Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, Chicago Police Department, and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

The company's product technology centers on specialized fabric treatments rather than digital innovation. Proprietary features include TactGuard fabric protection, which repels water, oils, and bodily fluids; Aquatact fabric protection on outerwear; wrinkle-resistant woven polyester constructions; and quality control standards applied to finished goods. The portfolio is sold under two co-owned brands, Tact Squad and United Uniform Mfg., both operated from a unified Amwear USA e-commerce storefront.

Tact Squad's business model is direct and dealer-driven uniform and apparel sales to government and commercial buyers, with quote-based unit pricing rather than publicly listed rates. The company reaches customers through three distribution channels: a direct e-commerce storefront supported by phone ordering, a dealer and retailer network for government and large agency accounts, and direct sales relationships with major police departments. It supports demand generation through industry trade shows (IACP, Police Security Expo, NSA Expo, GSX, EMS World Expo, TTPOA SWAT Competition) and content marketing including the 'Behind the Stitch' podcast, with fulfillment handled from multiple local warehouses and extended customer service hours.
