You will open and grow sworn law-enforcement accounts across Southern California and keep them buying after the first PO. About four days a week are spent in the field at stations, armories, training facilities, and academies.

• You live in Los Angeles or Orange County.
• Territory:
  Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Ventura, Riverside, San Bernardino, Kern, Imperial, and Santa Barbara Counties.
• This is a hunting role with a thin inherited book. Several of the largest departments on this map have never bought from us regularly.
• NPPGov PS25650 is your primary contract vehicle. Body armor LPA  and Sourcewell 091924-BBS open doors; our armor specialists handle fittings and armor-contract lines.
• There is no lead queue. We measure new accounts that reorder, not activity.

• Call on assigned and prospective law-enforcement accounts and grow revenue from them.
• Build and run a territory plan: call routes, account priorities, and a forecast you can defend.
• Put the right contract vehicle on every quote. Inside support handles the paperwork.
• Keep contacts, opportunities, and next actions in Dynamics 365.
• Represent the company at range days, association meetings, and trade shows.
• Bring back field intel: who else is quoting, what is budgeted, which grants landed, what renews.

This seat does not cover California state agencies, CSU or UC (including campus police), public works, facilities, or utilities, or federal signature. An industrial-supplies counterpart owns the non-sworn buyers.
