This (10) minute video clip and images were captured on July 8^th, 2010 as a “durability” test at a multi-jurisdictional response agency’s joint Hostage/Crisis Negotiation and Tactical Team training exercise.

The purpose of this test was to see if the Direct-Link Crisis Response System’s Throw Phone component could withstand similar circumstances that had led to the severe damage of one of our competitor’s Throw Phones that the response agency had previously purchased and would cost $1,500.00 to repair.

This test involved the placement of tactical blasting caps directly on the Direct-Link’s Throw Phone Extension Cable and approximately 6 ft. away from the Direct-Link’s actual Throw Phone component.

As the video and images show the Direct-Link Throw Phone System withstood this tremendous force with NO affect to the Direct-Link’s Throw Phone.

Additional tests that day included running over the Throw Phone Extension Cable multiple times with heavy Mobile Command Centers which did NOT have any affect whatsoever on the Throw Phone’s transmission

Overall both the Hostage/Crisis Negotiation and Tactical Team were extremely impressed with the durability of the Direct-Link’s Throw Phone and Cabling. At this time, they have elected to NOT invest the $1,500.00 into the repair of their existing Throw Phone that was manufactured by one of our competitors and are now making arrangements to finance the purchase of a Direct-Link 007 Series Crisis Response System.

For legal/liability purposes multi-jurisdictional response agency’s name or the name of the competitor’s Throw Phone that they had damaged have not been disclosed. However, one team member that had attended this training exercise has given us permission to provide their name, telephone number, and email address to those officers that would like to learn more. Please contact us if you would like this information.

Enforcement Technology Group, Inc. (ETGI) is pleased to show the following testimonials and images which display the supreme ruggedness and durability of the Direct-Link Crisis Response System’s Throw Phone.

Enforcement Technology Group, Inc. (ETGI) offers several technologies that can be used to bring Bluetooth® wireless cellular connectivity to your existing Crisis Response System.

By using the cellular network of ANY Bluetooth® enabled cell phone, Hostage/Crisis Negotiation Team can now communicate with a barricaded subject through a Crisis Response System in the event that communications are unable to be established on a Throw Phone OR Analog Landline.

Similar to a Crisis Response System’s Throw Phone an Landline features, communications taking place over the cellular network of the Bluetooth® enabled cell phone can be monitored (listened to) and recorded by multiple team staff members.

These technologies also allow Hostage/Crisis Negotiation Team staff to perform a “Throw Phone-to-Cellular Link.” This feature allows team staff to “link” a 3rd Party Intermediary’s cell phone call into the negotiations that are taking place with a barricaded subject on the Crisis Response System’s Throw Phone!

To help provide an in-depth understanding as to which Bluetooth Crisis Response Technology will be compatible with your existing Crisis Response/Throw Phone System as well as to help determine which of these technologies will best suit your agency’s needs, please review/download both PowerPoint presentation and Article contained in the links below.

The Bluetooth® Communications System (BCS) is a unique monitoring, recording, and broadcast system developed for specialized law enforcement/military team applications including Hostage/Crisis Negotiations, Investigations, and Undercover Narcotic Operations.

The BCS can be paired to ANY Bluetooth® enabled cell phone, allowing team staff to place and/or receive landline or cell phone calls. Once the call is connected, the communications taking place through the BCS can be monitored (listened to) and/or broadcast by multiple team staff by connecting Monitoring Headphones as well as RCA and/or RJ11 compatible speakers. The communications may also be recorded for evidentiary purposes by connecting a Digital or Analog (tape) recorder to the System. During prolonged operations the cell phone paired to the BSC can be charged by connecting the cell phone into the System’s built-in “Cell Phone Charger” port.

The BCS is also equipped with an “Auxiliary Phone Out” which allows the System to be integrated with an agency’s existing Crisis Response (Throw Phone) System. Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT) staff can use the BCS to establish immediate communications to initiate negotiations with a subject involved in a hostage/barricade incident and later seamlessly transfer the negotiations to the Crisis Response System upon its arrival by using a standard RJ11 Telephone Patch Cable!

The FullComm^™ Bluetooth^® Enabled Cellular/Landline Recording, Monitoring, & Link is an advanced communications system developed for Hostage/Crisis Negotiation, Drug Enforcement, and Investigation applications.

The FullComm^™ System’s Bluetooth^® wireless cellular connectivity feature and wired cell connection port allows the unit to be connected to virtually ANY cell phone.

In addition to these cellular connectivity features, the FullComm^™ is also equipped with an External Landline (RJ11) port which allows the System to be connected to traditional analog and proprietary Private Branch eXchange (PBX) landline telephone systems.

When connected to a cell phone or external landline calls placed or received through the System can be recorded and monitored by multiple team staff in real-time.

Enforcement Technology Group, Inc. (ETGI) understands that in tough economic times that a law enforcement agency’s training budget can be greatly reduced; making it difficult to purchase the training equipment instructors want and need to help ensure the safety and effectiveness of their fellow officers.

To give an agency the “biggest bang for their training budget buck,” ETGI now offers several different Law Enforcement Training Equipment Stimulus Packages.

These “Stimulus Packages” provide agencies with an opportunity to save anywhere from $300.00 to $2,270.00 on goods manufactured by the industries top Training Equipment manufacturers including: RedMan Training Gear, Shocknife, Inc., Ring’s Manufacturing (Blues Guns), as well as ETGI.

During a high-risk entry the element of surprise is critical. Unfortunately, this element can be compromised when dangerous criminals have positioned wireless covert audio microphones and/or video cameras around the perimeter. Through the use of these wireless covert devices, criminals become instantly aware of the presence of law enforcement providing them with an opportunity to flee, or even worse, open fire on approaching officers.

The Counter-Intell^™ Wireless Audio/Video Interceptor was developed to help limit these risks by giving law enforcement professionals the ability to detect the presence of these wireless devices.
