Amongst the variety of non-lethal weapons one of the fastest growing parts of the market is in the use of conducted energy weapons by law enforcement agencies. The societal pushback against the use of lethal force combined with the possible steep litigation costs of lethal weapon use have spurred law enforcement agencies around the world to start equipping themselves with this type of non-lethal weapon to ensure continued operational capabilities while diminishing the negative spotlight on their operations. Furthermore the recent breakthroughs in directed energy weapons has made their limited operational use a realty within the forecast period.
