The primary purpose of “ISID-2” (Instant Shooter
Identification Kit version 2) is to allow an officer to narrow the field
of suspects using a quick, accurate gunshot residue (GSR) analysis, saving
law enforcement agencies substantial time and money in their investigations,
and offering a strong additional interrogation tool. Unlike ‘conventional’ GSR
tests, the ISID-2 is ‘binary’: it provides tests for both instant
(field) results as well as confirmatory evidentiary (laboratory) results.
The field test will produce results in a matter of minutes. The laboratory
test contains the collection devices used for processing GSR on a Scanning
Electron Microscope (SEM).
The Rapid Identification Friend or Foe (RIFF) kit is a militarized version of ISID, intended primarily for use in military
operations in urban terrain (MOUT) to help separate insurgents from non-combatants. The small compact RIFF kit is used for
conducting the field test alone. In a matter of minutes one can presumptively identify the presence of gun shot residue
The “ISID-E” (Instant Shooter Identification Evidentiary) Kit contains the collections devices that are used for processing on a
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). It is intended for those agencies searching for a GSR test kit to be used exclusively in the
lab. It will not provide for results in the field.
Law Enforcement Technologies, Inc. is developing a Fuel Air Diversionary Device (FADD). The FADD is a revolutionary
less-than-lethal diversionary device that will dramatically change the way both law enforcement and the military view such
devices and is positioned to re-define the entire product category.
Diversionary devices (also termed distraction devices, flash-bangs, stun devices) are used primarily by SWAT and Tactical teams
during forced entries into buildings. Military often uses these devices during house-to-house clearing operations. The device
is thrown into the building close to a suspect at the moment of penetration. When the device deploys, it delivers a “flash”
that temporarily blinds, and a “bang” that temporarily deafens suspects and others in its periphery. This disabling effect
allows forces to move in and apprehend with increased safety.
The problem with conventional diversionary devices is that, along with light and sound, they produce an overpressure wave in the
range of 50,000 psi, which will blow out windows, shred furniture, and—most importantly—if thrown too close to a person can
cause serious injury. Countless serious injuries to police and military have been documented, not to mention injury to suspects
resulting in costly litigation against the jurisdiction.
L.E.T. developed the FADD in response to the safety, reliability, and storage issues present with the current generation of
diversionary devices. The FADD design eliminates the use of black powder, providing the user with a safer unit, without the
transportation or storage problems associated with current devices.
The FADD design team combined state of the art technology with advanced manufacturing procedures to maximize performance and
reliability while minimizing production cost. Flash cartridges are purchased independently of the body unit, allowing for an
easier supply chain for training and operational use. The timing unit is user selectable, which allows incremental setting
and includes redundant user safety systems. Law enforcement and military customers have not been able to train effectively
with the current generation of diversionary devices due to cost and safety concerns. FADD allows cost-conscious agencies the
flexibility to train more often with the actual devices they would use operationally.
