We equip solutions that save LIVES
Equipping trained professionals with the most reliable, life-saving tools and solutions, so they can act with confidence, respond faster, and focus entirely on protecting and saving lives in every critical moment.
Years of Trusted Service
In 2007 the founders of Rescue Essentials charted a new course, committing to serving law enforcement, military, Fire/EMS and search and rescue communities with top-quality tactical medical products delivered in a timely manner with flat rate $4.99 shipping.
As the business has grown, the capabilities expanded to include custom design, manufacture, and distribution of purpose-built trauma and medical kits for government agencies, schools, transportation hubs and private businesses.
Experience gained in working with entities like the U.S. Border Patrol, the Department of State, NYPD, FDNY, FBI, and various Special Operations units has synergized our kit building expertise with real world input. The result is a product line and internal skill-set to accommodate budget requirements, ever changing protocols, and advancements in product technology.

“ Well it feels lame picking something I’ve built as my favorite. But lying is too. So I pick the Pediatric Dosing Syringe, because nobody has to get shot or maimed to be certain they work, and they’ve helped me many times with my own kids. Plus they make parents and nurses real happy." youtu.be/NlM8klMrRTU
