What a great way to spend a day! The Anaheim Police Department recently hosted the S.W.A.T. Armored Vehicle Symposium, bringing together law enforcement agencies to showcase the latest in tactical armored vehicles and their applications in critical situations. The event highlighted the importance of armored rescue vehicles (ARVs) in ensuring officer safety and effective response during high-risk operations. Participants received training on the use of these vehicles for breaching operations, emphasizing the need for proper equipment, driver selection, and tactical planning. For those interested in non-lethal options, the PepperBall team including Bob Plaschke demonstrated how its solutions can be integrated with armored vehicles to enhance de-escalation tactics, providing law enforcement with versatile tools to manage threats while minimizing harm. This event is a key example of how law enforcement agencies are continually evolving to meet the challenges of today’s environment by integrating advanced technology, training, and collaboration. #pepperball #SWAT #armoredvehicles #anaheim

We are proud to share that in the premiere episode of Contraband: Seized at Sea on the Discovery Channel, PepperBall non-lethal solutions played a crucial role in a dramatic rescue mission. In this intense scenario, agents faced a perilous situation involving a boat filled with migrants taking on water. Amid the chaos, a trafficker resorted to using a child as a human shield, creating an extremely dangerous and sensitive situation. The agents had to act swiftly and decisively with limited options to ensure the safety of all involved. PepperBall provided the optimal solution. By deploying PepperBall projectiles, the agents were able to safely and effectively overpower the trafficker without causing harm. This allowed them to free the child and disable the boat's engine, enabling the safe rescue of the migrants and the arrest of the smugglers. This pivotal intervention turned a potentially tragic scenario into a successful rescue operation. This episode is a testament to the effectiveness and importance of non-lethal solutions in law enforcement operations. PepperBall is dedicated to equipping law enforcement professionals with tools that prioritize safety and minimize harm. We invite you to watch this episode and see firsthand the difference that PepperBall makes in critical situations.
