Rugged Laptop

Panasonic offers the TOUGHBOOK 55 for officers who rely on rugged mobile solutions. It harnesses the power of the 13th Gen Intel CoreTM i5 and i7 Processor with Intel vPro Technology and up to 14 cores. It also features a secondary NVMe OPAL SSD, delivering high bandwidth and low latency. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 enhance connection speeds and options, which can be especially useful for responding to emergencies. It has 92dB speakers and harnesses artificial intelligence to reduce background noise pickup. These audio capabilities help improve speech recognition accuracy during interactions in a squad car or on the scene of a crime.


Data Analytics Platform

Simsi’s RTMDx is a data analytics platform driven by risk terrain modeling and used to diagnose crime patterns, prioritize areas in need, and coordinate resources for prevention. Actionable analytics inform decisions regarding where to go and what to prioritize upon arrival. This data-informed approach to public safety maximizes existing local resources and expertise to solve problems and strengthen community relations, adding context to data, inviting multiple perspectives, and making actions effective and sustainable. Places can be restored or rehabilitated to make it safer. The software and services are scalable to meet law enforcement’s current and future needs.


Radio Smart Switch

PRYME Radio, a distinguished leader in audio technologies, proudly announces its new BT-PTT-Z SMART Switch. It provides wireless control over volume levels and channel selection. It offers versatile attachment options and leverages Bluetooth low energy technology for an extended runtime. The small wireless switch works with Zello’s PTT app and iOS devices. It can be handheld or attached via the included Velcro strap to just about anything (such as bike handlebars, steering wheel, or gear shift). No charging is required; the switch works for up to two years on a CR2032 coin cell battery.


Shoes

5.11 Tactical offers new additions to the brand’s everyday-ready Norris family of shoes: the Foley Mid and Foley Low. In addition to improved fit and size, both Foley styles feature a newly updated Vibram Hexgrip outsole providing better traction in all environments. Both versions also include increased cushioning and comfort with the addition of a drop-in X-40 Ortholite footbed. They have a ballistic nylon upper for added durability. From the urban jungle to the middle of nowhere, the 5.11 Foley Mid and the Foley Low blend in easily, providing tactical performance in a casual, concealed style with increased ankle support for moving quickly across mixed terrain.


Security Platform

Genetec Inc. announces an updated version of its flagship unified security platform, Security Center. With a shift toward a continuous delivery approach, this version marks a new era in the way customers can stay up to date with the platform’s latest features and updates. The latest release of Security Center brings many new features, including a new map widget for dashboards and improved zoom behavior, providing a smoother experience for operators, particularly in large citywide or multisite deployments. The enhanced zoom feature displays or hides layers depending on how much operators zoom in or out.


Portable Power Generators

Emergencies occur without notice. Whether it’s a natural disaster or human-caused catastrophe, emergency preparation and response equipment are essential. In times like these, ProPac can help with an assortment of power generators and a foldable solar panel. The 1000W portable power generator offers 110 volts of power and comes with a power adapter and AC line and DC, AC, USB, and solar outputs. The 2400W portable power generator comes with a power adapter; AC line; and DC, AC, USB, solar, type-C port, USB port, and cigarette lighter output ports. Both generators are rechargeable by the optional 200-watt foldable solar panel.


Rifle Torque Rod

The Mesatac Torque Rod is a heavy-duty solid steel tool for AR-15s designed to allow the easy installation and removal of barrels, muzzle devices, gas blocks, as well as handguards from the upper receiver. It features 5-inch flat sides designed to be gripped in a bench vise. The torque applied to a barrel nut or muzzle device is transferred to the rod in the vise. Using the rod instead of a clamshell style vise block prevents twisting damage to an upper receiver or marring the finish. Torque rods are an essential tool for billet AR-15 upper receivers that do not fit in clamshell style vise blocks.


Patrol Bicycle

The Police Bike Store offers Code Bikes. They are designed to be strong, long-lasting, and comfortable. The Code 3 police bicycle features a 1×11 Shimano XT drivetrain, lightweight aluminum frame, Shimano XT rapid fire shifters, Rockshox Recon RL air fork with a Poploc remote lockout, Shimano disc brakes, and more. The drivetrain on this police bike is designed to cover virtually any terrain. The bike is painted matte black for better stealth modes and has an oversized seat tube, disc mounts, cold forged dropouts, and a replaceable hanger. All Code Bikes have a lifetime warranty on the frame and respective manufacturer’s warranty on the components.


Scene Reconstruction Software

FARO Technologies, Inc., announces updates to FARO Zone, its renowned software for crime scene and crash reconstruction analysis. The latest version introduces many innovative features that will empower investigators, forensic analysts, and law enforcement agencies to enhance their capabilities in documenting, analyzing, and presenting evidence. Key highlights of the update include enhanced FotoPoints features that seamlessly integrate advanced photogrammetry and new, innovative videogrammetry capabilities, enabling users to easily convert photos and videos from devices like drones and smartphones into precise 3D point clouds. The new MassZone platform allows investigators to generate multi-vehicle and fixed barrier predictive crash animations.


AI-Enabled Cameras

i-PRO announces the revolutionary new X Series AI-enabled camera line that turns non-AI network cameras into AI smart devices (extending the usefulness of legacy cameras and improving security) and enables organizations to teach cameras about specific objects they want to monitor. With support for up to nine AI applications, it is the most powerful AI camera to date from i-PRO. As cameras evolve into powerful smart sensors, the data they harvest can be even more important than the raw video they capture. The new X Series includes 16 camera models: eight bullet cameras, four interior domes, and four exterior domes.
