LAKE LURE, NC –– Ocufii, the leader in safety technology, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with The Safe Civilian. This pioneering clothing company seamlessly integrates protection into everyday life and the collaboration represents a major step forward in redefining personal safety and asset security worldwide. The two companies will debut initial collaborations and projects in and around Las Vegas at multiple events surrounding and including SHOT Show.
As part of this partnership, The Safe Civilian will integrate and test Ocufii's connected technology within its product line, enabling select products to carry the "Ocufii Ready" designation. This label signifies that The Safe Civilian products will be fully compatible with Ocufii's ecosystem of devices, allowing customers to plug and play into Ocufii's intelligent safety and security platforms. Through this integration, The Safe Civilian products will leverage Ocufii's advanced software and connected technology to deliver enhanced protection and peace of mind—by upgrading protective apparel into intelligent safety solutions.
"This partnership marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of personal safety," said William Sandoval, CEO of Ocufii. "By integrating Ocufii's connected technology into The Safe Civilian's innovative product line, we are creating the first truly connected body armor experience. Together, we're not just enhancing protection—we're redefining what safety, style, and intelligence look like for civilians worldwide."
On Monday, January 19, 2026 Ocufii will serve as the official Safety Technology Sponsor for Industry Day at the Range. Ocufii will showcase its full suite of app-based technology and connected safety devices, along with its professional-level management system, Ocufii Core. Ocufii Core will be used by event staff and service providers in real time at the industry's largest and longest standing invite-only live shooting event.
Ocufii Core is a software platform developed from the ground up to detect personal safety and security alerts. These alerts are visualized through advanced mapping technology, which plots the location of the trusted safety network of individuals and services that can respond to emergencies. Using a patent-pending algorithm, Ocufii Core calculates in real time the distance and travel time for each trusted emergency member to the incident location, optimizing response times. The platform also provides optimal routing information by factoring in variables such as traffic, road construction, closures and weather conditions—ensuring the fastest and safest path to assist those in need.
By leveraging Ocufii Core, The Safe Civilian will transform its products into intelligent safety assets, providing customers with unprecedented value. Clothing will no longer be passive protection—it will become an active, connected component of a global safety network.
"The Safe Civilian has always been about blending fashion with function, and now, with Ocufii's advanced ecosystem, we're taking that vision to the next level," said Kami Kay Kirschbaum, CEO of The Safe Civilian. "This collaboration allows us to deliver clothing that doesn't just protect—it connects. Together, we're setting a new standard for innovation, style and security in everyday life across the United States and abroad."
The Safe Civilian is a founder of and originator of the cornerstone Project Gunway. This exclusive, invite only one-night event will be held Sunday, January 18, 2026 and blend fashion, safety and top industry personalities and brands like never before. The Safe Civilian's full line of bulletproof, slash-resistant and designer-grade armor-ready clothing will be worn and on display. Some of the industry's leading female personalities will hit the runway in the most Las Vegas style, fashion-inspired manner possible without sacrificing functionality or realism.
