Security Systems Firm To Continue Expansion of PepperBall Non-lethal Solutions into the Private Security Industry, Law Enforcement
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – February 7, 2005
PepperBall Technologies today announced that Vizer Group, a Westminster, CO-based security systems integration firm, has agreed to represent PepperBall's® line of non-lethal weapons to the private security industry within the United States as well as to law enforcement agencies and correctional facilities in Colorado.
Founded in 2001, Vizer Group provides security solutions, such as video surveillance, access control and intrusion detection, to major corporate and governmental organizations. Major Vizer Group clients include Lockheed Martin, Johnson & Wales University, and Remington Arms.
"We expect Vizer Group, with its strong contacts and proven track record of sales and service, to be a major asset in helping PepperBall continue with its recent expansion into the private security industry,¨ said George Burkle, general manager of PepperBall Technologies.
The PepperBall line of products are being employed by private security end-users to better patrol and secure perimeters, probe the intent of non-compliant individuals, protect against crowd uprisings; manage inmate populations, protect students and personnel and more. PepperBall products also are currently in use by more than 3,000 law enforcement agencies around the world.
Scott Sutton, president of Vizer Group, said he is convinced that the proven PepperBall solutions will become a popular choice for many of his security industry customers.
The PepperBall line of products will help our customers defuse potentially dangerous situations, enhance the safety of authorized personnel, uphold the law, enhance security, decrease liability and save lives,¨ he said.
PepperBall products use unique Chem-netics technology to effectively achieve subject compliance. Affected individuals experience the psychological shock of being "shot," the powerful yet less-than-lethal kinetic impact of a hard frangible round, and the release of potent PAVA (capsaicin II) pepper super-irritant. These combined affects make PepperBall products extremely effective while lowering the level of kinetic impact relied upon by other less-than-lethal products. PepperBall products can also be used without impact to create contained clouds of PAVA for breaking barricades or extracting unauthorized individuals from secured premises.
In addition to acting as a PepperBall reseller, Vizer Group will also co-host demonstrations and authorized training sessions for public and private organizations looking to employ non-lethal solutions.
