SWAT teams used a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) to disable the defendants to end the July 3 Wakefield standoff.
“The NYPD has voluntarily agreed to ban the use of the LRAD’s alert tone going forward,” a city spokeswoman said. “The NYPD has found a path forward that satisfies both law enforcement needs and the plaintiffs’ concerns about the use of the LRAD.”
LRAD's new 360Xm long-range acoustic hailing device is a highly intelligible compact product designed for shorter distances and defined spaces.
The Chicago Police Department will deploy an LRAD 1000Xi long-range acoustic device to relay dispersal commands to protesters. Sound can be heard in a 30-degree cone up to a kilometer away.
The LRAD 100X Force Protection Kit is a lightweight, portable, self-contained and self-powered communication system that broadcasts powerful, intelligible voice commands and warning tones over large distances.
American Technology Corporation has miniaturized its powerful LRAD technology for emergency responders. With the new handheld LRAD 100X, police and emergency responders can communicate clearly over crowd noise to control riots and issue instructions.
