Federal prosecutors say the Vancouver business owners lied when he said his products were made in the USA

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A Vancouver man is accused of scheming and defrauding law enforcement agencies and the U.S. government out of millions of dollars by selling them falsely advertised helmets and body armor, according to federal charging documents filed Tuesday, Nov. 22.

Jeff Meining owns Bulletproof It, LLC in Vancouver, and is facing one count of wire fraud.

According to the charging document, Meining used his company to advertise and sell body armor, primarily to various governmental agencies, including federal, state, and local law enforcement and fire departments. He’s also accused of selling the body armor by supplying it to another company that sold products under programs run by the General Services Administration.

Meining advertised on his website that his body armor products were made in the United States of America, but the charging documents said that isn’t true. They said many of the products came from Chinese companies.

Additionally, Meining altered test reports that showed his products had failed to meet ballistic testing standards, the documents said.

As an example, the documents said that on Aug. 14, 2019, Meining’s company signed a contract with the Mesa Police Department in Arizona. The police department purchased 840 helmets for approximately $247,800.

Meining and his company told the police department that the helmets “meet NIJ Level IIIA or better,” the charging documents said. This means the products had been tested to stop .357 SIG and .44 Magnum ammunition fired from longer-barrel handguns.

However, the documents said Meining knew at the time the contract was signed that the helmets had not been tested to meet those standards. Meining reportedly sent falsified test results for the helmets to the police department where he removed a test result that showed the helmet had failed when tested against a .44 Magnum, the documents said.

The helmets were later tested in December 2021 and a ballistic laboratory report showed they failed testing for .44 Magnum and .357 SIG.

I thought to myself "why would a American agency, buy armour from a Canadian company?" than I saw the article originated from Portland Oregon, I think they meant Vancouver Washington just on the other side of the Columbia river from Portland Oregon.
