ZANOTTI ARMOR

Zanotti safes are unique, in that they are modular in nature and assembled wherever the customer desires. Unlike many other safe manufacturers, Zanotti Armor handcrafts each of its safes right here in the U.S., focusing on precision details to provide a higher level of security, a more vibrant appearance, and a greater durability.  They take great pride in dealing directly with their customers and making sure they get their safe the way they want it.  

Zanotti Armor is a proud supporter of law enforcement and a premier sponsor of the Iowa State Police Association.  

MFPRSI retirement is 66% of high three-year salary average at age 55 with 22 years of service. Additional 2% per year beyond 22 years of service, but not to exceed 30 years of service, or an additional 16% for a maximum benefit of 82% of a member’s high three-year average salary. This is taxable income.

MFPRSI serves as the disability system for full-time Fire Fighters and Police Officers. Death benefits to surviving spouses and children are also provided by the system.

Any full time peace officer from a municipal police department, Iowa Department of Public Safety, or Iowa DOT Enforcement Division is eligible for membership in the ISPA. An annual fee of $40 for active members and $30 for retired members is all that is needed to become a part of Iowa's largest association of law enforcement professionals.
