Скачать или смотреть Lit Safety Vest created by officer aims to reduce struck-by deaths on roadways

When Officer Don Campbell learned a fellow officer had been killed in a struck-by incident, he knew current safety vests weren’t enough. He designed a better solution — the Lit Safety Vest, a rechargeable, LED-lit vest built to keep first responders visible in low-light conditions.

Now, Campbell’s mission is gaining national traction. Flying Cross, a brand of the Fechheimer Brothers Company, has partnered with Campbell — an active-duty officer in Wyoming, Ohio — to expand the reach and impact of the Lit Safety Vest.

“I designed the vest after a fellow officer lost his life despite wearing a high-visibility vest,” said Campbell. “If he couldn’t be seen, something had to change. I made the Lit Safety Vest to improve safety for others working in low-visibility conditions and hopefully prevent more tragedies.”

Unlike traditional reflective vests that rely on external light, the Lit Safety Vest emits its own, outlining the wearer’s body, illuminating the face and enhancing visibility in the darkest conditions.

“This vest was born out of tragedy — but built for hope,” Campbell said. “The goal is simple: make sure every officer or first responder is clearly seen, no matter the environment.”
