FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Michael Hess — [email protected] ASP Appoints New Sales Director Rene Ramos hired to manage Armament Systems’ southeast US territory Appleton, WI, August 28, 2024—Armament Systems and Procedures (ASP), a leading provider of law enforcement equipment and tactical training, has hired Rene Ramos as the new Director of Sales for the southeast US region.

Prior to his time in law enforcement, he served in the United States Marine Corps. “Rene has actually been a member of the extended ASP family—as a law enforcement Instructor and Trainer—since 2009,” says Daryell Harmon, ASP’s Vice President of Sales. “So he comes to us ready to roll with fifteen years of experience and subject matter expertise.” Harmon says that the mission of ASP’s dedicated sales team goes way beyond selling. “Sales Directors are responsible for distributor and agency relationships, assisting the organization of our law enforcement training programs, and more.” He concludes that “with his policing experience, years of expertise with the tools and training we provide, and boundless energy and enthusiasm, we know Rene is going to be an incredible asset to the territory and our business as a whole.” Ramos will maintain his residence in Florida, which will be his base of operations in his new role at ASP. -END- About ASP: “Protecting Those Who Protect” ASP is a leading manufacturer and supplier of Batons, Restraints, LED Lighting, OC and Training products to the law enforcement industry.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ASP Equips French Army for Olympics Security Law enforcement manufacturer supplies over 7,000 batons on short notice Appleton, WI, August 5, 2024—Just weeks before the Olympic opening ceremonies, the French Ministry of Defense contacted Terrang MP-Sec France—the European distributor for Armament Systems and Procedures (ASP)—with an urgent request. As part of the host country’s massive antiterrorism plans, ASP was asked if it could produce and ship over 7,000 of its tactical police batons, and an equal number of carrying scabbards, to arrive in France within around 3 weeks. ASP was able to fill the order, and play a role in keeping Olympic athletes and spectators—and those protecting them—safe. French government and other security agencies will be on high alert before, during and after the Games. In addition to an escalated police presence, over 20,000 French Army soldiers and a comparable number of private security professionals will guard Paris, its citizens and guests. MP-SEC—which has an open contract with the Ministry of Defense—was asked if the large baton and case order could be filled on short notice, and MP-SEC got to work with ASP to make it happen. ASP Vice President of Sales, Daryell Harmon, says that the company is ideally set up to meet urgent demands like this one. “We invest a huge amount of money in keeping substantial supplies of parts and materials on hand,” says Harmon. “This allows us to build a wide variety of products to order, often on nearly impossibly short notice.” Harmon says that ASP’s distribution relationships and international logistics capabilities are the other part of the formula. “We have a tremendous partnership with MP-SEC, and they have the facilities and resources to make sure that if we do our part and make the gear fast enough, it will get to the end users in time.” The order for ASP Talon expandable batons and Envoy Scabbards—around 15,000 units in all—was received on June 18th, produced, packaged and shipped in under three weeks, and was in the hands of French soldiers well before the torch was lit. “Our motto is ‘Protecting Those Who Protect,’” says ASP’s Harmon, “and this is how we walk the talk.” -END-
