The G.L.O.V.E. | A Game-Changer for Hands-On Policing
A Force Multiplier for Real-World Policing
Chris is the CEO and owner of Survival Dispatch. He’s experienced the G.L.O.V.E. more than once and has used them for demonstration purposes on others. This article is written from the perspective of his firsthand experiences.
Law enforcement technology evolves constantly, but rarely do we see a tool that fundamentally transforms field operations. Compliant Technologies' G.L.O.V.E. (Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter) stands as exactly that kind of breakthrough, a true force multiplier revolutionizing hands-on policing nationwide.

Having covered countless tactical products for years now, I've watched countless products enter the market with big promises only to deliver minimal real-world value. The G.L.O.V.E. operates in a different league entirely, giving officers genuine tactical advantage during those critical moments when split-second decisions determine whether a situation ends with control or chaos. What's truly remarkable? Despite more than 60,000 documented deployments, not one single lawsuit has been filed against any agency due to injuries from this device. This represents an unprecedented safety record in the less-lethal space that administrators and chiefs should be paying very close attention to.

THE "INVISIBLE PARTNER" THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING
The G.L.O.V.E.'s exceptional value comes not just from its technology but from seamless integration into existing protocols. This isn't about replacing current tools, it's about enhancing what officers already do. When worn, it transforms into a Conductive Distraction and De-escalation Device (CD3) that supplements existing equipment within the Force Continuum.
Its brilliance lies in simplicity. Officers wear the G.L.O.V.E. before and during law enforcement contact. Activation requires just one second pressing a switch on the glove. Conductive electrode pads on the palm make contact with a subject's skin, causing momentary neural peripheral interference, essentially creating peripheral nervous system distraction that hampers coordinated muscle movement.
The outcome? Immediate compliance without lasting injury or trauma. This represents a quantum leap forward in control options.

PROVEN EFFECTIVENESS WHERE IT MATTERS MOST
Real-world results tell the story better than specifications ever could. The G.L.O.V.E. has been deployed in countless situations where traditional methods might have escalated to more severe force options. Consider these actual field reports:
- A domestic assault suspect refusing to enter a patrol vehicle became immediately compliant after brief application to the upper arm
- A suspect attempting to destroy methamphetamine evidence stopped instantly when the G.L.O.V.E. contacted his wrist
- A jail inmate self-harming with a smuggled metal pin was safely controlled without additional injury
The consistency proves most impressive: immediate compliance without injury to either officer or subject. This isn't just another tool, it represents a complete paradigm shift in hands-on control methodology.
THE TECHNICAL EDGE
Understanding the G.L.O.V.E.'s effectiveness requires examining its thoughtful design:
Weight: 9-23 oz (260-650 grams), practical for daily wear
Simple activation: 1-second switch on the glove
Target areas: Primarily extremities and joints (avoiding head, face, throat, groin)
No cross-contamination: Unlike pepper spray, affects only contacted area
Unassuming appearance: Less intimidating than other tools, reducing visual escalation
Retention advantage: Subjects find it harder to grab than other weapons
The G.L.O.V.E. has undergone rigorous medical studies published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), confirming both safety and efficacy. Particularly impressive is that the device leaves no signature marks, redness, or physical injury, addressing excessive force concerns that have troubled law enforcement for years.
What truly separates this technology from every other less-lethal option is its impeccable legal record. In a field where agencies routinely face litigation over use-of-force incidents, the G.L.O.V.E. stands alone with zero lawsuits filed against any department related to its use. This remarkable achievement speaks volumes about the product's safety profile and effectiveness, giving administrators and officers confidence they're deploying a tool that delivers results without legal repercussions.

THE FORCE MULTIPLIER EFFECT
For agencies handling increasingly complex enforcement scenarios, the G.L.O.V.E. represents what Compliant Technologies aptly calls "The New Protocol in Peace Keeping." This 100% veteran-owned business has created something that serves law enforcement, corrections, security services, and EMS at local, state, and federal levels.
Most compelling is how it operates within existing tactics, techniques, and procedures. Officers don't need to learn entirely new systems, they simply gain an invisible partner enhancing current training. This "force multiplier" effect means agencies dramatically improve control outcomes without massive retraining programs or operational overhauls.
BEYOND POLICING: BROADER APPLICATIONS
While revolutionary for patrol officers, the G.L.O.V.E.'s applications extend further:
Corrections facilities managing inmate control and movement
Hospital security handling combative patients
Military personnel in non-lethal engagement scenarios
EMS providers facing potentially violent individuals
The platform's versatility extends to other CD3 technologies from Compliant Technologies, including E-Band Restrictors for secure transport and E-Vests for prisoner management.
Watch another good friend of ours, Dave Kemp from the [], who’s another career SWAT Team leader from Southern Illinois and his reaction to the G.L.O.V.E.. The results are nothing short of remarkable.
THE BOTTOM LINE: RESULTS THAT SPEAK VOLUMES
For commanders and chiefs making equipment decisions, nothing matters more than proven field results. The G.L.O.V.E. has been deployed over 60,000 times with remarkable consistency: immediate compliance with zero injuries to officers or subjects. This track record carries enormous significance in an era of intense scrutiny around use-of-force incidents.
Perhaps most impressive is the complete absence of litigation, not a single lawsuit has been filed against any agency deploying the G.L.O.V.E. In today's litigious environment where departments face constant legal exposure from use-of-force incidents, this spotless record is nothing short of extraordinary. It represents not just effectiveness, but also safety and legal protection that no other similar technology can match.
Particularly noteworthy is the testimonial evidence from officers using it in real-world situations: "The G.L.O.V.E. got the subject to comply quicker than if I did not have it available to me." For anyone who's experienced tense standoffs where seconds matter, such immediate compliance holds invaluable tactical advantage.

A NEW STANDARD IN DE-ESCALATION
In a profession where split-second decisions carry life-altering consequences, the G.L.O.V.E. provides something invaluable: options. It fills a critical gap in the force continuum, giving officers an effective tool achieving compliance without causing injury.
The numbers tell the story clearly: over 60,000 deployments, zero injuries, and zero lawsuits. This perfect safety record stands unmatched in the less-lethal space, where other technologies regularly result in both injuries and litigation. For agencies already dealing with budget constraints, the liability protection alone makes the G.L.O.V.E. a compelling investment, but combined with operational effectiveness, it becomes essential equipment.
For agencies committed to both officer safety and community relations, Compliant Technologies' G.L.O.V.E. isn't just another piece of equipment, it represents a complete rethinking of hands-on policing approaches. In a field often resistant to change, this innovation proves its worth every time it's deployed.
