Testimonial from Kansas Highway Patrol Lt Says Advantage Goes To TigerLightŪ
Heber City, Utah—The TigerLight® Non-Lethal Defense System demonstrates again and again why officers should always have it in hand.
The following letter was received by Kansas Highway Patrol Lieutenant Phil Bostian:
"I was assisting the local police department at a dance hall with a “drunk and disorderly” call. The private security officers there had ordered the suspect to leave the premises, and he was refusing. I arrived at the scene with the P.D. officer, and we found the suspect sitting in his car in the parking lot. We ordered him to get out and he refused, so we started to physically pull him out, and he began to fight us. I already had my TigerLight in my hand, so I was able to immediately spray the suspect in the face without a pause. It took him by complete surprise, and took the fight out of him instantly. I don’t think the results would have been the same if either one of us would have had to let go of the suspect and reach for a belt-carried can of pepper spray.
As a supervisor, I have often taught troopers never to warn a suspect that they were going to use pepper spray. This came about from my own bad experiences. I learned a long time ago that suspects would duck, turn away, cover their face, etc., if they were warned that pepper spray is imminent. Even the officer’s act of reaching for a belt-carried can serves to tip off suspects as to what is coming, and it allows them to prepare mentally and physically to resist the effects of the spray. One of the best things about the TigerLight is that you already have it in your hand before the fight starts, and no one ever suspects that the light contains pepper spray."
