This will be the most revolutionary advancement in my 40-year public safety career. Law enforcement advancements that provide benefit to both police and society will become an expectation of the public. They will become a part of the police reform that is being demanded.
Lassen Peak's technology signifies the important transition away from physical contact used in fundamental public safety procedures. By applying this safe technology from a distance to clear a suspect of dangerous concealed objects, both officers and citizens gain an important procedural advancement that is sure to improve relations and reduce potentially dangerous encounters.
Lassen Peak's technology will transform procedures that have historically caused conflict and friction in engagements between police officers and the public. This technology has the potential to enhance the safety of individuals and police, alike, while protecting individuals’ civil rights and adhering to the constitutional boundaries afforded to law enforcement.
This solution will save lives of both officers and individuals being searched by minimizing the need for physical touch during a weapons search and by allowing officers to know when there are no weapons on a person’s body.
I have witnessed first-hand the misery caused by knife crime and the impact that it has across all our communities. This technology will allow police officers to stop the right people, focusing on those individuals intent on causing harm within our communities.
Officer safety and community trust in law enforcement are fundamental principles in public safety, and Lassen Peak’s innovations hold great potential to advance both.
Lassen Peak’s approach will broadly prepare law enforcement and private security agencies for a new process of detecting concealed threats without the contentious hands-on physical contact of the past. This is a new opportunity for officers and patrol individuals to take pause and consider the necessity of close quarter contact, potentially reducing dangerous altercations and injury.
With Lassen Peak’s innovative technology, providing a hands-off method for identifying concealed threats at a safe distance is beneficial in many ways -- Besides the obvious safety advantages, the sensitivity to concerns and restrictions against physical touch within many cultures abroad may now be addressed through an alternative to the required physical pat-down procedure.
Lassen Peak's technology will enhance the safety and operational effectiveness of law enforcement, while preserving the civil rights of the communities with which they’re engaging. Also, it will foster an environment of trust by ensuring that all searches are conducted in an authorized and equitable fashion.
Lassen Peak technology will replace the negative connotation of ‘reform’ in law enforcement with a more positive action of procedural ‘advancement’ through technology. By providing a hands-off alternative to the manual pat-down that officers use to detect concealed weapons, their products will help remove procedures that both society and police find contentious, all while safe-guarding civil rights through procedural accountability.
Lassen Peak's solution will greatly enhance oversight into these often contentious encounters - enabling improved police accountability.
