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.

Motorola LEX 700 Mission Critical Handheld
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? That’s what the LEX 700 and its associated infrastructure offers and all in a smartphone package. When connected to Public Safety LTE broadband, all of a municipality’s services can be coordinated. 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.

Nigerian Police Showing Off New Camo
Thursday, March 15th, 2012
Here, you can see the Nigerian Inspector General of Police (IG), Mohammed Abubakar sporing the new ‘urban’ pattern. While we have no idea at this point how they decided on this pattern, it’s refreshing to see leadership wearing it and soliciting feedback from the public.
While many are going to want to criticize the pattern but please remember the main purpose of a uniform and that is to identify the member of an organization. Interestingly, it doesn’t seem all that unique and resembles the so-called urban woodland pattern available in the surplus market throughout the 90s. The reason this is so important is that one of underlying factors in adopting new uniforms in the first place was that it provide, “security features to forestall impersonation.”

Introducing S.O.TECH’s MACTAC Kit
Friday, March 9th, 2012
S.O.TECH has a long history or working with law enforcement to push the envelope in tactical gear design. This time they’ve worked with LAPD, LASD, and Orange County Sheriffs Dept (CA) to create the MACTAC (Multi-Assault Counter-Terrorism Action Capabilities) as a way to respond to multiple violent assaults and/or terrorist acts. MACTAC was inspired by the tactical dilemmas posed by the Mumbai assault and active shooter incidents like Columbine.
“LAPD is in the process of developing supplemental courses to help supervisors and team leaders apply the MACTAC concept during critical field incidents.” – LAPD Official website
The kit includes the Mission Pack Micro, the Helmet Mesh Adapter, and the Rapid Response Bandolier with add-on items also available. The concept is, everything you need for any engagement in a single package, with hard plate coverage, helmet, ID patches, and an extra 120 rounds of ammunition. The pack also offers additional room for food and water, extra weapons/ammunition/holsters, an IFAK med kit and other mission-specific gear.
MACTAC training is rapidly becoming a top priority for a variety of agencies nationwide in 2012 and this new kit from S.O.TECH will support your requirements.
For Law Enforcement Agency Representatives interested in MACTAC, email jim@specopstech.com or julieb@specopstech.com to learn more about the program.
