According to the most recent survey by the U.S. Department of Justice, there were more than 800,000 full-time sworn law enforcement officers in the United States in 2004. In addition to a handgun, these officers usually carry any number of non-lethal, impact weapons such as a baton, stun gun or TASER. Brite-Strike’s Tactical Blue Dot Series incorporates all the features that a patrol officer needs, such as a tri-sided barrel design for a more ergonomic grip, and front and rear tri-strike-crown for maximum impact during pressure point and weapon retention techniques.

The pocket clip is specifically designed for line officers and is reversed from other tactical lights. The clip features a greater clearance for lighting fast draws from either a BDU pocket field organizer/wallet, duty belt, or six pocket police pant.

The beam delivers a brilliant white light designed to momentarily blind and disorient a subject. The light can also be dropped to a low setting and used as flashlight that offers a wide spread for a flood effect perfect for traffic stops and keeping the officer safe. The product also includes a “flush” tactical end cap switch to prevent accidental turn-ons. In addition, the light is equipped with a defensive strike crown on the front and rear for maximum impact when used for weapon retention techniques.

Brite-Strike’s Protector Series and the latest Lightening Strike™ Personal Protection System are specifically geared toward women, students, contractors and any private citizen seeking greater peace of mind when going about their daily lives.

Brite-Strike’s Lightening Strike is a seven-piece system that includes a small, high-intensity flashing ‘strobe’ with a key chain-sized alarm that delivers an ear-piercing, throbbing sound that momentarily distracts and disorients an attacker. Designed to be small enough to be clipped to a woman’s handbag or student backpack, the Lightening Series offers easy-to-deploy personal protection for anyone in a high-risk area. This system also features the Tactical Touch ™, a cut-away end switch that was especially designed for long fingernails to access the on/off switch.

Brite-Strike created a unique local police department curriculum called “Flash, Bash & Dash™” to teach citizens about tactical defense and how to use their equipment against an attacker.
