Sidearm Magnet

Tuffy Security Products introduces the #401 Magnet. When attached to the inside of the lid of Tuffy lockboxes and security enclosures, the new rubber-coated magnet suspends sidearms with a super strong hold to prevent them from dropping to the bottom during travel. The magnet can also be used to firmly hold long guns in other areas, including Tuffy under-seat lockboxes and Jeep cargo enclosures. Strong enough to securely support 45 lbs., the magnet has evenly distributed magnetism that holds a large variety of guns with a solid grip while riding over rough off-road terrain and bumpy roads.

Rugged Cases

Gemstar Manufacturing announces the expansion of its Stronghold hard case line with the introduction of new RoboRack Half-Rack Mount Cases. New RoboRack cases are military-grade, shock-resistant half-rack cases designed specifically to mount sensitive electronic components for transport and field use. The cases protect electronics from physical shock, vibration, moisture, dust, and other contaminants. Designed, tested, and manufactured in the United States, these hard cases can be used off-the-shelf or configured as needed for specific equipment. They come in two half-rack sizes: 5U and 7U. These double-walled hard cases are stackable, airtight, watertight, and built to withstand years of use and abuse.

Body Scanner

The Soter RS Full Body Scanner by ODSecurity combines ultra-low radiation with maximum visibility, making it extraordinarily safe and efficient. It can literally find anything that is either concealed inside or on a person. It can detect items within just 10 seconds, revealing even nonmetallic objects hidden under clothes, in natural cavities, or within the human body. Previously, items such as narcotics, explosives, precious stones, plastic weapons, or other contraband could be detected only by highly intrusive body searches. The Soter RS Full Body Scanner is successfully deployed in detention centers, airports, police, and customs facilities across the world.

Drones

Skydio offers the Skydio X2, which sees in every direction using six 4k 200° navigation cameras, understands the world around it using onboard AI running on an NVIDIA TX2, and makes smart decisions to fly with 360° obstacle avoidance. Advancements in drone technology from AI-enabled obstacle avoidance to high-resolution visual and radiometric cameras to NightSense zero-light autonomy—make the use of these drones an intelligent approach to crash and crime scene documentation. Police can now capture more measurable data (not just point-by-point) quickly with a Skydio drone, thus obtaining a unique aerial perspective of a crash or crime scene and visually compelling courtroom-ready materials.

Cyberthreat Service

Camelot Secure announces its Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Hunting service. The service is a comprehensive cybersecurity approach that blends network monitoring and log analysis with strategic threat intelligence feeds and behavioral analysis to proactively identify and neutralize potential threats. Diving deep into network infrastructures to uncover and disrupt threat patterns and using AI and machine learning technologies, it constantly evolves as a proactive defense mechanism. APT Hunting unifies multiple data sources; creates a cybersecurity baseline; identifies “normal” behavior; and generates a dashboard to sift through alerts, evaluating anomalies in the data and bringing the most critical issues to the forefront.
