![]() ![]() ![]() With the GLOVE, only the area contacted is affected, and therefore it is unlikely that a backing or secondary officer would be adversely affected by the GLOVE.The GLOVE has undergone medical studies to check for safety and efficacy, the results of which have been published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).There were no signature marks, redness, or any other signs of physical injury to any of the subjects.Weapon retention is easily achievable with the GLOVE, as it would be more difficult for someone to take the GLOVE than another tool.The GLOVE can be used and operated as a pair, or a single GLOVE can be used independently (two officers can each have a GLOVE).Training and operating costs of the GLOVE are low.The GLOVE allows for an easy transition to any other tool.There is a variance in its effect between individuals, with some individuals seemingly only mildly affected however, the substantial majority of individuals were affected during the stimulation phase. The GLOVE provides pain compliance and a distraction to the peripheral nervous system.These are initial assessments due to the short period of the time the GLOVE has been available and with the knowledge that pros and cons have a certain level of subjectivity based on the totality of the circumstances of individual incidents. (Photo/Tyson Kilbey)ĭuring my review and analysis of the GLOVE, I identified several pros and cons. Testing of the GLOVE involved multiple trips to the range and the mat room. During this time, I have applied the GLOVE to approximately 60 individuals. In addition to these tests, I have instructed user courses and brought the GLOVE to several defensive tactics training events throughout the Midwest over the past several months. I also conducted several tests in the mat room to determine both the GLOVE’s durability and if the GLOVE could be incorporated into various defensive tactics scenarios and handcuffing situations. The testing included multiple trips to the firing range to determine if the GLOVE can be worn in the on or off position when transitioning and using other tools such as a handgun, TASER, OC spray and baton. Testing of the GLOVEĪfter completing a one-day master instructor course, I began conducting tests of the GLOVE with other law enforcement instructors. Unless it is an escalated situation to defend someone from serious bodily harm, applying the GLOVE to a subject’s head, face, throat, or groin area is not recommended. The primary target areas of the GLOVE are the extremities and joints. This distraction then allows the officer to place the subject under control. The desired result of the GLOVE is to cause a distraction to the peripheral nervous system, making it more difficult for the subject to perform coordinated muscle movement. When two of these pads come into direct contact with human skin, it generates pain compliance and achieves neural peripheral interference. There are conductive electrode pads on the palm side of the GLOVE. ![]() When the tool is turned on, the on button illuminates in a manner that is highly visible to the officer. When needed, the GLOVE is turned on by depressing the on/off button located on the upper surface of the GLOVE. The GLOVE can be worn both before and during a law enforcement contact in correctional and field settings. 6 'invisible' signs that a subject is resisting a police officer ![]()
