NTOA Tested and Recommended

At Ridge Footwear, we take great pride in the quality and performance of all of our products. We know you depend on top-notch tactical gear and that’s why we participate in the NTOA Tested and Recommended program.

What is NTOA?

NTOA stands for the National Tactical Officers Association.


The mission of the National Tactical Officers Association is to enhance the performance and professional status of law enforcement personnel by providing a credible and proven training resource as well as a forum for the development of tactics and information exchange.


The Association’s ultimate goal is to improve public safety and domestic security through training, education and tactical excellence. The National Tactical Officers Association operates with Veritas (truth, honesty and integrity) in their relationships.

What is the Member Tested and Recommended Program?

Since 2003, NTOA members have tested more than 2,000 products in real world situations through the NTOA’s Member Tested and Recommended Program (MTRP). Results of these tests are shared with the law enforcement community in their magazine, The Tactical Edge, their online database, their e Newsletters and of course with the product manufacturers.


Ridge Footwear is proud to display the MTRP logo on our tested products, our product packaging, ads and website. The MTRP logo is regarded by many LE agencies as paramount to their product purchasing decisions. Look for the logo by all of our footwear and accessories that have been tested and recommended by NTOA members.
