GUARDIAN 8 HOLDINGS
SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - Jul 7, 2015) - Guardian 8 Corporation, the wholly owned operating subsidiary of Guardian 8 Holdings (
UPS is a division of Universal Services of America and is recognized as an industry leader when it comes to advancing technology that enhances the security services it offers to its customers. The company employs over 50,000 uniformed security officers and professionals and now operates in 49 states nationwide.
Steve Jones, CEO of Universal Protection, stated, "By adding the Pro V2, we bring to our customers the latest in technology to help mitigate risk, reduce potential litigation, as well as improve the security and safety of our clients, customers, and our security officers. The fact that the tool is non-lethal also makes it a highly recommended option to arming officers with firearms or stun devices."
The Pro V2, developed by Guardian 8, is a new highly sophisticated Enhanced Non-Lethal tool for security officers. The Pro V2 deploys a number of technologies and documentation capabilities in a handheld device. The device records (time and date stamped) audio and video, connects to an officer's Bluetooth-equipped phone for real time communication, sounds a high pitch siren, disorients suspects with a strobe light, projects a laser spotter and deploys a precision stream of oleoresin capsicum (pepper spray) as a last line of defense.
Steve Cochennet, CEO of Guardian 8, stated, "Universal Protection's adopting the Pro V2 in their use of force policy is a great step forward in the endorsement of our product. In today's world of increased violence, excess litigation, injury or death, the concept of 'de-escalate, document, and defend' becomes even more compelling. We believe the Pro V2 concept will also improve the risk profile for general liability and workers' compensation coverage of our end users." In addition he went on to say, "With the inclusion of the Pro V2 in Universal Protection Service's offerings, we foresee a significant rise in awareness and exposure to the concept of Enhanced Non-Lethal ('ENL') products across many vertical markets."
