Personal patrol shield Hardwire Armor Systems' Officer Safety Shield or OS2 is a Level 3A ballistic shield that is light enough to be carried by one officer and compact enough to be carried in every patrol car, detective vehicle...even motorcycles and bicycles. Even though the OS2 weighs less than two pounds and is less than 1/2-inch thick; it is powerful enough to withstand multiple hits of pistol caliber ammunition. Developed by Integrated Technology Systems in partner- ship with the Glendale Police Department, the OS2 is ideal for the uniformed patrol officer, plain clothes detective, fed- eral agent or dignitary protection specialist.

Firearm lubricant, hot or cold Eagle Shield CLP combines the finest hot and cold lubrica- tion performance available on the market and blocks the adhe- sion of carbon fouling to your weapon at the molecular level. The formulation was designed to increase the reliability and function of your weapon, specifically under heavy sustained fire. It is also an ideal performer in extremely cold tempera- tures, beyond the point where most modern lubricants freeze. Circle 22 on Reader Service Card 1 2 3 5 3.

Predict appearances through DNA Seeking a suspect but don't have any conclusive identifying information? If you can obtain a DNA sample, perhaps from something like a discarded cigarette, you can uncover useful facts that can aid in his or her capture, or inform the larger investigation. By using ExactID software from the company Battelle, forensic scientists can determine features and traits from the biomarkers present in DNA—specifics like the man has blond hair and green eyes, is Caucasian, and may be related to people who live in Hoboken, NJ. Such information could be vitally important for solving an investigative puzzle. ExactID software is low cost, fast and easy to use, making it accessible to law enforcement at all levels.
