DHS Eyes Electroshock Patrol Gloves From Small Veteran Owned Company

A small company creates a non lethal method of gaining compliance in law enforcement scenarios...and it is shocking! Literally! 

 Small Kentucky Firm Poised for Multimillion-Dollar DHS Deal for Electroshock Gloves 

A small Kentucky business could soon secure up to $20 million from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). According to KXXV, a notice published by DHS details an intent to purchase between $10 million and $20 million worth of specialized electroshock gloves. The plan is to use the gloves for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities, including Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).  

Inside the Technology 

The device, officially named the Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter (G.L.O.V.E.), is manufactured by Compliant Technologies LLC.  

How It Functions 

The equipment looks and functions like standard patrol gear until an officer activates a switch to trigger an electrical current. Upon direct skin contact, the glove delivers a low-voltage electrical shock designed to gain physical compliance within seconds.  

Safe Method off Gaining Compliance 

Company founder Jeff Niklaus has stated online that the technology is deployed across over 400 agencies in 40 states and 9 countries, with over 40,000 uses minus any recorded injuries or lawsuits. 

How Compliant Technologies Differs from Other Companies 

Unlike established suppliers like Axon, which has provided millions of dollars' worth of Tasers to the federal government, Compliant Technologies is listed as a veteran-owned small business operating out of a residential address in Nicholasville, Kentucky. Although registered as a federal contractor since 2023, public records show no prior record of the company receiving federal purchase orders or contracts.
