Force Tactical, a superstore and showroom featuring topoftheline tactical gear and equipment for law enforcement, military personnel and security professionals, is now celebrating its grand opening in Simi Valley.

The concept for the showroom is the brainchild of father and son Bruce and Dan de la Cuadra.

"We have always supported local law enforcement agencies and felt this store is a great way to further serve the brave men and women in uniform who serve us all," Bruce de la Cuadra said. "We're providing them with the best products and tools to ensure their safety as they do their job."

From bags to body armor to duty gear to specialty footwear, the showroom features a lineup of high-quality tactical merchandise. Force Tactical is a certified BLACKHAWK Superstore and is also recognized as a factory authorized dealer for other brands, such as Eagle Industries, Camelbak, SUREFIRE, Maxpedition and Taser.

Force Tactical is proud to serve a full range of first responders, including police and sheriff, corrections, security, fire and rescue, EMS and EMT, military, government, transit and chaplain.

In addition to the showroom, the company is launching an online store at www.forcetactical.com sometime in late June.

The Force Tactical showroom is at 771 Chambers Lane, Unit 330, Simi Valley. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
