FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                      DHB ANNOUNCES EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS

                  - JOHN SIEMER NAMED COO AND CHIEF OF STAFF -
     - THOMAS CANFIELD TO SERVE AS GENERAL COUNSEL AND CORPORATE SECRETARY -
                  - SAM WHITE APPOINTED HEAD OF GLOBAL SALES -

POMPANO BEACH, FLORIDA, SEPTEMBER 28, 2006 - DHB Industries Inc. (OTC Pink
Sheets: DHBT.PK), a leader in the field of protective body armor, announced
today the appointments of John Siemer as Chief Operating Officer and Chief of
Staff and Thomas Canfield as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. The
Company also disclosed that Sam White, formerly President of Point Blank Body
Armor, will now assume the position of Head of Global Sales.

"It is with great pleasure that I announce John and Thomas's appointments and
welcome them to the DHB family," stated Larry Ellis, President and Acting CEO.
"I personally have known John for over 20 years and believe his experience in
the U.S. Armed Forces will be a tremendous asset to our organization. John was
brought on board given his knowledge of the inner-workings of the U.S. military
and both local and federal governments and I strongly believe his insights and
skills will enable us to better structure our organization to meet our
customers' needs, as well as our ability to operate more efficiently.
Furthermore, the addition of Thomas Canfield to our organization will greatly
help us, not only in legal matters, but in operations as he has over 25 years of
experience in both U.S. and International business, working with high-profile
corporations in the matters of legal, regulatory, business development,
corporate finance and operations."

Ellis continued, "Sam White has been with our organization since 2001 and has
been one of the key executives responsible for DHB's growth and market
leadership in the body armor industry. Prior to his appointment as President of
Point Blank, Sam served as VP of our sales, marketing and R&D initiatives and we
strongly believe that having Sam lead our global sales efforts, will better
position our Company in the years ahead. His knowledge of our products, our
customers and partners, and his relationships with key decision makers and
suppliers will be invaluable as we look to grow our business and become the
dominant supplier of protective body armor to the U.S.
Armed Forces, Federal Agencies and Law Enforcement community."

Mr. Siemer will be working closely with key executives from corporate, finance,
operations and human resources while helping to structure and implement the
Company's overall strategy and vision across all departments and locations. Mr.
Siemer will coordinate matters of strategic planning, business development,
corporate governance and both operational and managerial organization. Other
day-to-day duties will include staff management, integration of key business





functions and both staff structure and training. Mr. Siemer will also focus on
ensuring fiscal discipline while improving business efficiencies and
productivity. He will be reporting to Larry Ellis.

Planner to the Army Chief of Staff where he advised on the use and allocation of
resources. Previously, he served as Executive Officer to the Director of Program

As DHB's General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Thomas Canfield will be
responsible for overseeing the Company's legal and government affairs, including
regulatory, corporate and compliance activities as well as matters pertaining to
the Securities and Exchange Commission and potential relisting of DHB on AMEX or
another exchange, once compliance matters are addressed. He will be working
closely with the Company's operational and financial teams in contract
arrangements, patents and employee relations and will assist the executive team
and board of directors in strategic planning and transactions, corporate affairs
and corporate governance. He will also be reporting to Larry Ellis.
