ASP to Introduce several new Products at IWA & OutdoorClassics 2012

February 13th, 2012 § Leave a Comment

Armament Systems and Procedures (ASP), one of the most respected names in law enforcement products worldwide, will introduce several new products at the upcoming IWA & OutdoorClassics 2012 show in Nuremberg, Germany March 9-12, including the market’s first Micro USB rechargeable tactical and handheld LED lights.

ASP will introduce the rechargeable Triad USB flashlight, the rechargeable Sapphire USB handheld light, the P12 and P16 Batons, the Triad Tactical Light Case and the Pink Palm and Key Defenders. For more information about all of these products and to watch product videos, go to www.asp-usa.com.

ASP Chairman and CEO Kevin Parsons, Ph.D., says the new, innovative products will expand ASP’s tactical and consumer light lines, and, at the same time, improve the company’s long and strong standing in the baton market. Parsons says the products will benefit both public safety professionals and general consumers, particularly with the new Micro USB technology. The Micro USB is the power connector that all cell phone manufacturers have agreed to implement as a standard universal phone charger by the end of 2012.

“Our revolutionary rechargeable technology is aimed at convenience,” Parsons said. “Users will be able to fully re-charge the Triad USB and the Sapphire USB using their cellphone chargers or even their computers. The Micro USB technology will also eliminate the need in many cases for multiple power cords.”

ASP encourages people to check out these new products and its entire line of soon-to-be-released flashlights at its IWA & OutdoorClassics 2012 booth (Booth #7A427) in the Exhibition Centre Nuremburg.
The show runs daily from 9 am – 6 pm, except for Monday, March 12th when the hours are 9 am – 4 pm.

Our newest Personal Defender now comes in Pink

February 2nd, 2012 § Leave a Comment

We have just added a seventh color to our popular line of Palm and Key Defenders: Pink! The Palm is the smallest of our OC series while the Key is mid-sized Defender.

Since we design all of our consumer products to professional law enforcement standards, our Defenders are much more than spray cans loaded with chemical irritants. They are dispersion systems with specially produced valve systems and a patented dispensing mechanism. Our design eliminates the likelihood of accidental discharge.

Check out our new Pink Defenders and all of our personal Defenders here.

Our two newest Concealable Batons

January 19th, 2012 § Leave a Comment

The days when you needed big, bulky duty batons to adequately protect yourselves on the street are definitely over. It seems every year we’re designing smaller and smaller batons that are as devastatingly effective as any baton you’ve ever carried.

Today at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas, NV we introduced our two newest concealable batons, the P12 and the P16.  When retracted, these two batons are both less than 7 inches (the P12 is only 5 inches), but our patented steel/aluminum design still provides the striking force of a standard duty baton. If you have a moment, read our entire press release and watch our product video.

The P12 and P16 are part of our Friction Loc Baton series and can easily be concealed in a waistband, a purse or even a pocket, making them perfect if you’re an administrator, a plainclothes investigator or an undercover cop.

Thanks to technological advancements and our unique design, we are confident that you aren’t compromising one ounce of power by carrying one of our concealable batons.

Check out the P12 and P16 and let us know what you think.

The Sapphire USB – our new rechargeable handheld light

January 18th, 2012 § Leave a Comment

We’re probably best known as a company that makes batons and handcuffs for police officers and public safety professionals. But the truth is we have a long history of designing popular products for the general consumer, too.

Our Sapphire handheld lights might be the best example.

We introduced our first Sapphire light in 1998 and have sold approximately 5 million over the past 14 years.

Today, at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas, we proudly introduced our latest version of the Sapphire, the Sapphire USB, the only Micro USB rechargeable handheld LED light on the market. The Sapphire USB has an all-metal frame, an ambidextrous switch, intermittent/constant activation, glass panels, a lithium polymer battery and, again, Micro USB charging.

The bottom line is that our new Sapphire USB is stronger, sturdier, and brighter, with more features than its two predecessors. Plus, there’s no need for batteries any longer. For more details, read our press release.

We’re calling it an everyday light for everyone. We know cops clip it to their shirts or ties to read their notes while they type reports on their squad laptops. And we also know that the general public uses the Sapphire USB to walk their dogs, read in bed or look for lost items.

Like we said, it’s an everyday light for everyone. We think it’s for you! Check it out and let us know what you think.

Our new Micro USB rechargeable Tactical flashlight

January 17th, 2012 § Leave a Comment

We’re really excited about our new rechargeable Triad USB tactical flashlight that we unveiled today at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas, NV. This is the first Micro USB rechargeable tactical LED light on the market, and we believe it is incredibly convenient yet just as dependable as any tactical flashlight in our line – or in any of our competitors’ lines.

Since it is fully charged using a Micro USB power cord, the Triad USB allows you to use the same power coord you use for your cellphone. If you don’t have a Micro USB rechargeable phone yet, you likely will someday soon. Cell phone manufacturers have agreed to implement this type of power chord in their phones by the end of 2012.

The Triad USB’s switch allows you to shine the beam intermittently or constantly depending on the situation you’re faced with on the street. The LED technology in the Triad USB is second to none producing a staggering 300 lumens of light and a continuous runtime of 90 minutes.

We strongly believe its one of the best and brightest lights out there. We hope you’ll check it out and let us know what you think.  Read our full press release and watch our product video.

Welcome to the New Year and our new Blog!

We hope our Blog will help better educate you about our products and our training programs. And we encourage you to educate us as well. Let us know what you think by posting comments.

For those of you who don’t know much about us, we are one of one of the industry’s foremost suppliers of Batons, Restraints, Training, OC products and LED lighting.  We were founded in 1976 and hold more than 100 product patents and provide almost $2 million in free training each year to law enforcement.

As proud as we are of our past, we’re equally excited about our future.

In 2012, we are expanding our tactical and consumer light lines and strengthening our long standing in the baton market.

We’re introducing several products at the upcoming SHOT Show in Las Vegas, NV, January 17-20. Most notably, we will unveil the first Micro USB rechargeable tactical LED flashlight and handheld lights on the market – the Triad USB and the Sapphire USB, respectively. Because the Micro USB power connector will be the standard universal cell phone charger in 2012, these lights will be incredibly convenient to re-charge yet will still provide outstanding performance in any situation.

We’ll release more details in the next couple weeks about these lights and about our new Triad Tactical Light Case and our P12 and P16 Batons. Check our Blog soon to learn more and see photos and videos of these products

Until then, as we mentioned above, feel free to leave comments. We value your opinion and welcome your feedback!
