Enhanced Non-Lethal Tools Breaks Ground in Five Top Sectors
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.-- Jan. 13, 2015 -- Guardian 8 Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Guardian 8 Holdings (OTCQB: GRDH), announced today that it has surpassed its 100th pilot account for implementation of its Enhanced Non-Lethal (ENL) Pro V2 device. The Pro V2 was designed by Guardian 8 to fill a need in professional security for a multi-function tool that provides incident recording, non-lethal layered defense, and two-way communication.
"This significant milestone comes just one year after we first went to market with the Pro V2," said Guardian 8 President Steve Cochennet. "It represents a significant effort to bring this revolutionary new product to market that targeted five top sectors."
The top target sectors that have begun adoption of the Pro V2 are hospital and health care facilities, security providers, public venues such as entertainment and hospitality, university campuses, and government service providers. The latter was recently secured through a sole source partnership with ADS Tactical to provide the Pro V2 product line through the GSA Schedule 84.
"What is outstanding is that these top 5 sectors are following a process of changing the way they secure their worlds," said Paul Hughes, Guardian 8 COO, who has overseen the training of 160 certified Pro V2 instructors. "First, they develop their own in-house experts through our Train the Trainer course. Next, they purchase and evaluate the Pro V2. The Guardian 8 teams supports the client's unique policy development, and then full implementation of a security force equipped with the Pro V2 can begin."
Last year, a hospital security team using a Pro V2 successfully de-escalated an incident with a threatening patient. A Platinum Event Services security team working the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, TX, used their Pro V2 units to stop a crime in progress and avert a false claim of excessive use of force.
Guardian 8 Holdings, through its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Guardian 8 Corporation, is the developer and manufacturer of the Pro V2, an enhanced non-lethal (ENL) response to threats that revolutionizes how companies keep workplaces safe and mitigate risk. The Pro V2 is a defensive device that provides any operator with non-lethal means to protect themselves and others, allowing time for law enforcement response, while initiating communication and incident recording. The Pro V2 is an intermediate option for response to aggressive subjects, developed as a solution for security professionals seeking a flexible tool with a layered defense approach. Guardian 8 was awarded the "Campus Safety BEST Award" for 2014 in the personal gear and equipment category, one of "Ten Companies to Watch" in March 2014 by the Phoenix Business Journal, and an ASIS Accolades Award for "Security's Best."
