Bulk Odor Control for Corrections, Fire Stations, and K9 Units

Bulk Odor Control for Corrections, Fire Stations, and K9 Units

Short answer: Corrections facilities, fire stations, and K9 units all rely on gear that absorbs sweat and odor but can’t be thrown in the wash. Arrest My Vest neutralizes that odor on contact, it is safe around K9 partners, and every product in the line is available in bulk. Units can apply through our wholesale application or email info@arrestmyvest.com.

Why does odor build up so fast in these units?

These jobs put gear through more than most. Corrections officers spend long shifts in enclosed, often poorly ventilated spaces. Firefighters work through heat and heavy exertion, then live and sleep at the station. K9 handlers share vehicles, crates, and equipment with a working dog every day. In every case, the gear soaks up sweat and odor faster than it can air out.

Where does the odor end up?

It spreads well beyond the gear itself.

  • In corrections, it builds up in duty belts, stab vests, and boots, and then settles into locker rooms and staff areas.
  • At a fire station, it fills helmets, boots, gloves, and gear bags, and it drifts into the bunk room and the rigs.
  • In a K9 unit, it soaks into the dog’s vest, leads, crates, and the back of the vehicle.

Because these spaces are shared, one person’s gear problem quickly becomes everyone’s. Household air fresheners only cover the smell for a short time, and many of them are not something a handler wants near a working dog.

Why do K9 handlers need a different kind of spray?

A working dog depends on its nose, and handlers are careful about what they use around their partner. Arrest My Vest is safe for K9 units, and the Unscented option leaves no added fragrance behind. Handlers can use it on K9 vests, harnesses, leads, crates, and vehicle kennels, as well as on their own gear.

How does Arrest My Vest work?

Arrest My Vest is powered by proprietary OAM Technology, short for Odor Absorbing Molecules. It neutralizes odor at the molecular level rather than masking it, so the smell does not come back when the gear warms up again. It works instantly on contact, which matters when a call can come in at any moment. The formula is nontoxic, free of enzymes, leaves no residue, and is safe for body armor and K9 units.

What should each unit stock?

Every product in the line is available for bulk orders.

  • Gallons keep a shared supply in a station, a facility locker room, or a K9 unit’s equipment area.
  • 16 oz sprays work as personal bottles for each staff member or handler.
  • 4 oz sprays fit in a gear bag, a rig, or a K9 vehicle.
  • Unscented suits K9 units and any team that prefers no fragrance.
  • Laundry Booster eliminates odor from station wear, uniforms, and towels that go through the wash.
