The Fordland School District’s Resource Officer, Greg Porter, is now equipped with a customized foldable assault rifle, thanks to a donation from Mountainside Outfitters and FoldAR. This innovative firearm, which can fit into a standard backpack, allows the officer to maintain quick access to essential safety equipment without causing alarm among students or staff.
This initiative aims to address gaps in funding for school resource officers, who often lack adequate response tools during emergencies.

The partnership underscores an ongoing mission to better equip law enforcement in smaller communities across the nation.
