Accountability to Police & Non-Lethal Options to Militaries
Apr 13, 2015 (ACCESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- WHITEFISH, MT / ACCESSWIRE / April 13, 2015 / Lamperd Less Lethal Inc. LLLI, -7.02% has quickly become a leader in developing non-lethal weapons, ammunition, and other technologies for municipal and national governments around the world. With a primary focus on crowd control and accountability, the company provides investors with a unique opportunity to capitalize on important and rapidly growing end markets.
In this article, we'll take a look at the growing need for its body cameras in the U.S. and some large potential orders for its crowd control products abroad.
Growing Need for Accountability
The apparent murder of Walter L. Scott by police officer Michael T. Slager in North Charleston, South Carolina, has reinforced the need for body cameras to improve accountability in police departments nationwide. With police dashboard cameras having captured no footage of the incident, the only hard evidence of the murder was amateur footage captured by a stranger and later shared with the family.
The shooting comes on the heels of other high profile cases of lethal force used by police departments, including events in New York, Cleveland, and (Ferguson) Missouri. While a White House task force has been created to address the issue, the only real long-term solution may come from mandatory body cameras that have been documented to encourage better behavior and prevent excessive violence.
According to a study by the Police Foundation, on-body cameras were shown to reduce the total number of incidents of use of force compared to control conditions by 50%, and nearly ten times less citizens' complaints were generated compared to the prior 12 months. These behaviors stem from fundamental tendencies to exhibit more desirable behaviors when under known surveillance.

TASER International Inc.'s TASR, -0.26% Axon Flex is probably the most widely known on-officer camera in the market. Priced at $599 a piece (compared to $399 for Lamperd's unit), the point-of-view on-officer cameras improve the transparency between law enforcement agencies and their communities, while protecting officers from false claims. These technologies have already been installed on thousands of officers since its introduction.
Lamperd Less Lethal's recently introduced MSS100 Mobile Surveillance System doesn't have as much market share, but offers potentially greater functionality relative to the TASER product. With 32GB of built-in memory for a secure chain of evidence, the camera is tamper-proof and equipped with GPS functionality that provides time-stamped locations to ensure accuracy when recording.
With an increasing number of police departments adopting or planning to adopt these types of technologies, the company could see revenue expand as it gains traction in domestic markets for its MSS100 Mobile Surveillance Systems.
Potential for Large Military Orders
Lamperd Less Lethal has been actively marketing its wide range of non-lethal weapons and ammunition, including its recently released lightweight launchers, by attending international security conferences around the world. With many countries becoming increasingly concerned with social unrest, these types of crowd control products are in high demand to keep the peace.
On April 1st, the company announced that a government customer requested two proposals with a combined value of $37 million following its attendance of two major tradeshows held in Dubai - Intersec 2015 and IDEX 2015. These customers are interested in many different products, ranging from weapons and ammunition to its on-body cameras designed to improve accountability.
UAE police forces are testing and anxiously awaiting the MSS400 Wifi/4G capable units for their officers and police boats, while composite ammunition products are being reviewed by officials in Oman and Egypt as an upgrade to their current munitions. Orders for the MSS100 will be fulfilled upon completion of the MSS400. By the company's estimate, the Royal Oman Police utilize over five million rounds per year in training exercises alone - a large potential market.
While these orders have yet to materialize in the form of hard revenue, they do represent a significant potential upcoming catalyst for the stock. Companies like National Presto Industries Inc. NPK, -0.48% or Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. SWHC, +0.74% may not find a $37 million order as significant as Lamperd Less Lethal with a market capitalization of just $10 million in total.
With the ongoing unrest in many countries around the world, there's significant and growing demand for the company's unique line-up of non-lethal weapons, ammunition, and supporting technologies.
Looking Ahead
Lamperd Less Lethal appears well positioned to capitalize on favorable tailwinds both domestically and internationally. With the launch of its MSS100 Mobile Surveillance Systems and its new lightweight launchers, customers around the world have been actively testing its products and potentially preparing to place sizeable orders that could generate significant long-term shareholder value.

Because he's #2 in the IMSC executive pecking order.
Let's face it. The business of Bloomberg TV is business. This wasn't the Nature Channel. Liscouski is the EVP of IMSC. But he failed to mention Implant Sciences, ticker symbol IMSC and its capabilities for potentially averting a Boston Massacre again in his interview. He dropped the ball.
Great interview ... except for one SMALL thing. He NEVER mentions IMSC. Layered approach, explosive trace detection, technology is available today. How does the company's EVP go on Bloomberg TV and not mention IMPLANT SCIENCES, SYMBOL IMSC??? What a blunder!!!
Take a look at the unfavorable police news in South Carolina and its impact on $TASR, $DGLY and $LLLI.
The Asian shipments were good to see but another paragraph about the status of TSA shipments would have enhanced the PR.
In other words full steam ahead!
All true but Rome wasn't built in a day. IMSC can truly call itself an industry leader in the ETD space.
This is REALLY BIG!!!
Shiloh - You will need to rethink what you stated about IMSC not PR'ing the Morpho denial by the GAO. IMSC's Twitter site just advised that the PR refers to a government contract and they need their approval to release it. They said "we expect to receive it soon".
IMSC PR'd the protest on November 26, 2014 so it stands to reason the denial will also be PR'd. However, this news is tied to the hip with any REFI news.
CNN Breaking News: The U.S. House passed a clean funding bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security through September, sending the bill to President Barack Obama and averting a partial shutdown of the department. The vote was 257-167.
House Speaker John Boehner relented by allowing the vote without provisions blocking the President's actions on immigration.
GAO Favorable Outcome Probabilities on or Before
Thursday, March 5, 2015:
IMSC: 87%
Morpho: 13%
I like IMSC's chances.
CNBC Breaking News (Still Developing): Senate Dems agree to GOP plan for DHS funding without immigration measures
DHS intelligence report warns of domestic right-wing terror threat
By Evan Perez and Wes Bruer, CNN
Updated 10:59 AM ET, Fri February 20, 2015
Story highlights
Intelligence assessment focuses on domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists
Some law enforcement groups view domestic terror threat as equal to threat from Islamic terror groups
Washington (CNN)—They're carrying out sporadic terror attacks on police, have threatened attacks on government buildings and reject government authority.
A new intelligence assessment, circulated by the Department of Homeland Security this month and reviewed by CNN, focuses on the domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists and comes as the Obama administration holds a White House conference to focus efforts to fight violent extremism.
Some federal and local law enforcement groups view the domestic terror threat from sovereign citizen groups as equal to -- and in some cases greater than -- the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS, that garner more public attention.?
The Homeland Security report, produced in coordination with the FBI, counts 24 violent sovereign citizen-related attacks across the U.S. since 2010.
ISIS burned up to 40 people alive in Iraq, official says
The government says these are extremists who believe that they can ignore laws and that their individual rights are under attack in routine daily instances such as a traffic stop or being required to obey a court order.
They've lashed out against authority in incidents such as one in 2012, in which a father and son were accused of engaging in a shootout with police in Louisiana, in a confrontation that began with an officer pulling them over for a traffic violation. Two officers were killed and several others wounded in the confrontation. The men were sovereign citizen extremists who claimed police had no authority over them.
Among the findings from the Homeland Security intelligence assessment: "(Sovereign citizen) violence during 2015 will occur most frequently during routine law enforcement encounters at a suspect's home, during enforcement stops and at government offices."
DHS has documented examples of violence by sovereign citizen extremists since 2010. They range from incidents that occurred in the home and at traffic stops to attacks on government buildings.
The report adds that "law enforcement officers will remain the primary target of (sovereign citizen) violence over the next year due to their role in physically enforcing laws and regulations."
The White House has fended off criticism in recent days for its reluctance to say the words "Islamist extremism," even as the conference this week almost entirely focused on helping imams and community groups to counteract the lure of groups like ISIS.
Absent from the White House conference is any focus on the domestic terror threat posed by sovereign citizens, militias and other anti-government terrorists that have carried out multiple attacks in recent years.
An administration official says the White House is focused on the threat from all terrorists, including from sovereign citizen and other domestic groups.
"I don't think it's fair to say the (White House) conference didn't address this at all," the official said, adding that President Barack Obama addressed the need to combat "violent ideologies" of all types.
An official at the Justice Department, which is leading the administration's counter-radicalization effort, says many of the tactics aimed at thwarting radical Islamic recruitment of young people can also be used to fight anti-government extremist groups.
While groups like ISIS and al Qaeda garner the most attention, for many local cops, the danger is closer to home.
A survey last year of state and local law enforcement officers listed sovereign citizen terrorists, ahead of foreign Islamists, and domestic militia groups as the top domestic terror threat.
The survey was part of a study produced by the University of Maryland's National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism.
In 2013, a man who held anti-government views carried out a shooting attack on three Transportation Security Administration employees at Los Angeles International Airport, killing one TSA officer. Last year, a couple killed two police officers and a bystander at a Las Vegas Walmart store.
Officers inspect a car outside Los Angeles International Airport in 2013 after three TSA employees were shot.
?
Mark Potok, senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, said that by some estimates, there are as many as 300,000 people involved in some way with sovereign citizen extremism. Perhaps 100,000 people form a core of the movement, he said.
The federal government's focus on the domestic groups waxes and wanes, Potok said, in part because the threat from foreign groups like al Qaeda and its affiliates.
Potok says sovereign citizen groups have attracted support because of poor economic conditions. Some groups travel the country pitching their ideology as a way to help homeowners escape foreclosure or get out of debt, by simply ignoring the courts and bankruptcy law.
The Homeland Security report's focus on right-wing terrorists is a subject that garnered political controversy for the Obama administration in the past. In 2009, a Homeland Security report on possible recruitment of military veterans by right-wing militia groups prompted an outcry from veterans groups.
The report was produced by staff members during the Bush administration but wasn't published until then Homeland Security Janet Napolitano had taken office. Napolitano criticized her own agency for the report.
