Forces Focus – Finnish Sotilaspoliisit

Monday, July 9th, 2012

Part of the Finnish Guards Jaeger Regiment, the Sotilaspoliisit is a small Military Police unit.

Reader JP had this to say about the video –

The Regiment has a strong homeland defence focus, and co-operation with LE agencies and civil authorities is close.
In the video you can see a 9month conscript- based MP reserve company training in assault force operations alongside Finnish National Police. During a sustained national crisis this assistance would be a typical mission profile, especially if foreign involvement is clear.
The training scenario here is pretty much an “Urban Shield” equivalent where all necessary elements, including the reserve company have been activated in response to a large scale event. The company is tasked in the briefing to strike a location identified as being used as a crash pad by the bad guys. See what happens…
Equipmentwise a lot of the stuff is Finnish, like the Sisu XA-180 APC, the breach blankets by Verseidag Ballistic Protection, the Valmet RK95 TP rifles etc. On the other hand you can see ACOGs, Aimpoint CS, NICO bangs, Insight Technologies stuff and Dynamic Entry tools put to good use… Not to mention an oldie but goody Partner Saw!

Thanks JP!

Check Out the New Talon Baton from ASP at Warrior Expo East

Sunday, July 8th, 2012

ASP is well known in the law enforcement community for their expandable batons and handcuffs. Recently, they released the new Talon baton. Referred to as Disc Loc during development, the new Talon uses two opposing discs that cam into an internal groove machined into each tube. According to ASP, lockout is simple, stable and secure. It features a padded grip and can be opened by grasping the tip or a simple flick of the baton up or down. And, retraction is as simple as pushing a button.

Be sure to see this and other ASP products this week at Warrior Expo East in Virginia Beach, Virginia. ASP products are available for agency and unit orders through ADS Inc.

BE Meyers GLARE Enforcer Approved by FDA – See It At Warrior Expo East

Friday, July 6th, 2012


GLARE Enforcer

It’s official. The BE Meyers GLARE Enforcer is the only non-lethal laser to receive an FDA variance for Law Enforcement use. Obviously, this is a major announcement. Now, domestic law enforcement agencies have a safe, yet effective non-lethal tool to allow land and maritime-based personnel to identify and if needed, deter unsafe vehicles and craft from entering their space from standoff distances of up to 2km. It uses Eye Safe technology which automatically adjusts the output power depending on target distance, delivering its maximum permissible power at all times while maintaining the safety of the intended target and all nearby personnel against accidental eye injury.

Daniel Defense Revamps Law Enforcement Packages

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012

Daniel Defense has revamped their Law Enforcement Packages to reflect the needs of the law enforcement professional.
Beginning this month, Daniel Defense will equip its four LE Packages with gear widely approved by police departments and other law enforcement agencies. Each of the four configurations will include a Daniel Defense DDM4 rifle, sling, magazines and protective rifle case. The four packages are as follows: Patrol Rifle Package (PRP), Designated Marksman Package (DMP), Lightweight Package (LWP), and Special Services Package (SSP). “The configuration changes to the Daniel Defense Law Enforcement Packages are a direct result of user feedback, improving the usability of the firearms and pairing our DDM4 rifles with premium accessories such as the Aimpoint PRO and Leupold Mark 4”, says Jay Duncan, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Daniel Defense.

The Daniel Defense Patrol Rifle Package has been assembled to provide officers the perfect general-purpose system. The package includes the signature Daniel Defense DDM4v1 with Cold Hammer Forged M4-profile barrel, the newly designed DDM4 Rail 12.0 FSP, Daniel Defense CNC-machined Front Site Base, and Daniel Defense Flash Suppressor. It comes accessorized with the Aimpoint Patrol Rifle Optic (PRO), fixed A1.5 rear site, (3) 30-round PMAGS and Vickers Combat Applications Sling.

The Designated Marksman Package (DMP) is a versatile, multi-purpose platform that can be used for close quarters applications as well as precision medium range target engagement. This arrangement includes the DDM4v7, equipped with an 18” Cold Hammer Forged, S2W barrel, Daniel Defense Flash Suppressor, 3.5-10x40mm Leupold Mark 4/LR/T rifle scope as a primary optic, and MAGPUL MBUS flip-up front and rear backup sights. It also includes (3) 30-round PMAGS and Vickers Combat Application Sling.

The Daniel Defense Lightweight Package (LWP) includes a DDM4v5 LW with a Cold Hammer Forged 16” Lightweight barrel, the newly designed DDM4 Rail™ 12.0 and mid-length gas system, as well as a Daniel Defense Flash Suppressor. The LWP also comes with an Aimpoint Patrol Rifle Optic (PRO), fixed front & rear sights, (3) 30-round PMAGS, and Vickers Combat Application Sling™.

The Daniel Defense Special Services Package (SSP) features Daniel Defenses’ factory short barrel rifle (SBR) kit they have assembled for use by SWAT, SSU, Gang, Warrant Service, under cover and other specialized enforcement units. The heart of this package is the Special Services Rifle with 11.5” Cold Hammer Forged government-profile barrel, DDM4 Rail 9.0, and Daniel Defense Flash Suppressor. The Aimpoint Patrol Rifle Optic (PRO) is included as well as Fixed Front & Rear Sites, (3) 30-round PMAGS and Vickers Combat Application Sling.

As with all of their products, Daniel Defense offers each of these law enforcement packages at a significant discount to all current, credentialed law enforcement professionals and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

Texas Ranger 7.62 PredatAR from LaRue

Saturday, May 12th, 2012

LaRue Tactical built a special rifle for the Texas Rangers based on the PredatAR Chassis. I hit them up on the spur of the moment, with little time to prepare, so I’d like to express my appreciation for them taking a minute to chat. My understanding is that once they are caught up with the Texas DPS orders there will be a civilian version of the “Ranger Rifle” available.

Mark LaRue and his staff make bad ass rifles. Glad to see these in the hands of guys doing a dangerous job. Check out LaRue Tactical on the web at www.laruetactical.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/LaRueAccuracy.

Monday, April 30th, 2012

Motorola is marketing their new LEX 700 Mission Critical Handheld. Imagine that all of the things that military now take for granted such as dynamic mapping, GPS, Blue Force Tracking, and streaming video were all available to Law Enforcement, First Responders and Fire services?

Communication is via voice services over LTE, cellular and IP networks or a dedicated Push-to-Talk button. Additionally, the LEX 700 can be used to as a controller to remotely change volume and channels on an APX® 7000 radio.

Personnel can use the LEX 700 to coordinate via white board, see each other’s locations relative to a scene and share imagery and other useful intelligence across the network.
