This week we join the nation in honoring law enforcement sacrifice and advancing tools, policies and practices that support officer safety, de-escalation and public trust.
#NationalPoliceWeek is a time to honor those who serve and recommit to giving them every possible advantage to come home safe.
In the words of Bob Plaschke, our CEO, “We believe it is our responsibility to do everything we can to improve modern policing tools and training to help reduce harm and promote safer outcomes for both officers and the public alike. We believe every law enforcement situation is better when non-lethal tools like ours are available and properly used.”
To every officer serving this week and every week, thank you. And to the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we pay tribute and remember you always.

This week at Mock Prison Riot, we’re spending time with the people who do one of the toughest jobs in public safety.
Corrections officers work in environments largely unseen by the general population, making decisions every day that require patience, professionalism and control.
During Corrections Week, PepperBall® recognizes the men and women who stand the post, protect others and keep facilities moving safely.
Thank you for the work you do every day.

Are officers being given the right tools for the calls they are actually handling? In most communities, that question deserves a harder look.
Across the country, law enforcement agencies are facing increased calls involving mental health crises, substance abuse, and erratic behavior. Officers are regularly being sent into situations that are unpredictable and dangerous, though not always criminal in the traditional sense.
Distance is a decision making advantage. When officers can slow an encounter down and build a plan before a situation escalates, better outcomes are possible for everyone involved.
Non-lethal tools are serve as risk-reduction investments, in officer safety, in community trust, and in responsible public safety leadership.

A few recent sights from the Buckeye State, where one of our Master Instructors guided candidates through training, teaching back of air fill procedures, one of the critical hands-on steps in the path to achieving PepperBall® Instructor status.
The range day closed with a shooting competition built to foster esprit de corps and camaraderie among the newest class of certified instructors, with the winner taking home a LiveX Blast GB.
We take pride in providing comprehensive training to help instructors and officers understand the equipment, trust the system, and equip themselves to be ready to deploy it with confidence when it counts.

Drones as first responders are no longer just a speculative concept, but a growing reality and possibility in law enforcement.
But the adoption curve is still steep. Certified operators are expensive. FAA regulations are still catching up. And for many agencies, the technology has not yet been built with the officer in mind.
CEO Bob Plaschke sat down with Col. Frank Milstead (Ret.) to talk through the promise and real challenges of drone technology in modern policing. What has to change before departments can truly put this tool to work at scale?

Mental health calls and substance abuse incidents are rising nationwide. Officers need tools that create distance and space for resolution.
That’s what we build.
A non-lethal option that creates standoff distance and de-escalates a situation gives officers exactly that. Time to assess. Time to connect. Time to get someone to the right place.

The world is coming to Texas, and they’re ready.
This week we ran an in-house Operator Course for some of Texas’s Finest the Texas DPS Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol, as they gear up for the FIFA World Cup 2026. These North Texas Troopers will be deployed with crowd control units during the tournament, and they showed up to put in the work.
Launchers performed flawlessly and students left the field impressed.
Huge thanks to Oscar Saenz, one of our Master Instructors out of Texas, for leading an outstanding course. When the world watches, you want the best. ⚽

Zero deaths. 20 million deployments. The data speaks for itself.
When officers have the right tools and the distance to use them, situations get resolved before a trigger is pulled.
No injuries. No unnecessary force.
20+ years of field-proven performance.

Former Mesa Police Department Assistant Chief Ed Wessing joined CEO Bob Plaschke on the First Response podcast to discuss how modern policing has evolved, including the shift towards deeper community trust building.
Wessing also revealed more about the hidden cost of a career in policing, while contrasting older metrics such as arrests and citations, with the newer standard of spending time in neighborhoods and relationship building.
