PepperBall® is set to participate in the 60th annual FBI National Training Conference (FBINAA) from July 20-23, 2024, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing mission to provide non-lethal defense solutions for law enforcement. As a trusted partner for law enforcement, correctional, and military professionals worldwide, PepperBall will showcase new products and accessories designed to enhance safety and effectiveness in the field at Booth 107.
The PepperBall system has been pivotal in providing law enforcement agencies across the United States with a non-lethal alternative for safely resolving high-tension incidents. This technology is versatile, being used in daily patrols, crowd control, and individual suspect engagement. By offering a flexible tool that minimizes risk while maximizing control, PepperBall helps officers avoid the trauma and emotional toll often associated with lethal encounters. Trusted by thousands of agencies worldwide, the system has proven effective in real-world scenarios, offering a reliable option for officers seeking non-lethal solutions.
Michael Lee, Vice President of Sales for PepperBall, noted the significant impact the system has had on policing. "Police departments that have implemented the PepperBall system have seen reductions in use-of-force complaints, officer-involved shootings, and injuries to officers and citizens. Over our 20-year history, PepperBall has been deployed more than 20 million times with an impeccable safety record," said Lee.
The PepperBall® system includes air-powered launchers and projectiles filled with PAVA or inert powder. Upon impact, these projectiles release a cloud of organic irritant capable of incapacitating a threat from up to 150 feet away. This approach significantly reduces the likelihood of physical confrontations, thereby enhancing safety for all parties involved.
Lee emphasized the importance of the FBINAA conference for PepperBall. "Participating in the FBINAA conference allows us to connect with law enforcement professionals and demonstrate how our technology is transforming the landscape of policing. Our non-lethal solutions give officers the time and distance they need to assess a situation, plan a course of action, and save lives," he said.
The implications of PepperBall's participation in the FBINAA conference are far-reaching. As law enforcement agencies continue to seek methods to reduce the use of lethal force, the adoption of non-lethal solutions like PepperBall is crucial. The conference serves as a platform for PepperBall to educate and train law enforcement professionals on the benefits and applications of their technology, potentially leading to broader adoption and a consequential reduction in use-of-force incidents nationwide.
