According to a research report published in July 2023 by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the global less lethal ammunition market size is expected to grow to USD $1.39 billion by 2032.
Roughly 30% of these fatalities are potential use cases for The Alternative®
The Alternative® preserves life and optimizes officer safety without transitioning to a separate device
In the last decade, the Thurgood Marshall Institute identified 167 public settlements that totaled over $2 billion to families of the deceased paid by departments and local governments.
The risk exposure to local governments for use of force wrongful death litigation averages $7.7 million for every 100,000 in population.
The proper use of less lethal weapons decreases collateral damage, reputational risk, and wrongful death litigation for departments, local governments, and the officers involved.
The ROI for departments and local governments related to the acquisition, training, and implementation of less lethal weapons, such as The Alternative®, is estimated to range from 980% to 1,629% for every dollar spent.
Our primary market is Law Enforcement domestically and internationally, with future plans to launch a consumer version of The Alternative® to meet consumer demand.
