When There Is More Than One

Why Buy a TigerLight?

•The TigerLight® T100 is much more effective than a regular can of pepper spray.

•96% Stop Rate* against attackers. Series I. See Study results.

•The TigerLight® T100 is compact & easy to carry while walking, jogging or going to your car.

•No one knows you have a weapon in your hand and you don’t feel strange carrying a “weapon” around. Because of that, it is more likely to be in your hand when you need it and more apt to catch the attacker by surprise, thus increasing effectiveness.

Notes From Trainer and TigerLight® Inventor Randy Teig Following Training of 100 Trainers At Rhode Island Police Academy - Part I

One other point also related to Non-Lethal Assisted Tactical Disengagement and close proximity encounters. The story where I was able to use the

non-lethal in a split second as I was running to cover and how it increased my lethality because I had taken the subject's eyesight and had moved to a position of cover. This one thing represented two things. It represented an attempt on my part to de-escalate, but it also represented my taking

advantage of the OC to increase my lethality by getting cover and distance so I could take time to aim and fire with accuracy while simultaneously reducing the subject's ability to fight. When the trainers realized that I lost nothing by spraying the subject, neither time nor opportunity, I could see the light come on in their eyes.

The stat we often refer to in LASD Study where deputies used the TL against people armed with deadly or dangerous weapons is double edged. Many are thinking "I would never use OC against a guy with a deadly weapon", but when I tell them the story where Braskett yelled gun and all I knew was that there was a gun in the car, not who hand it or where it was and so immediately sprayed the occupants and took them out enabling me to sort it out after they were incapacitated with non-lethal force and I was able to do so from behind the engine block on my car with my gun pointed at them fully capable of shooting them at will, they understood the advantage. The subjects were now temporarily blinded and unable to breath. Even if they had chosen to engage us in a gun fight at that point, we had a huge advantage, an advantage we would never had before the TL. At this point in the conversation the trainers really get it.

Then I finished the story by telling them what we learned after everybody was in custody. The passenger was going to shoot me and the driver was trying to run from the vehicle because he wanted nothing to do with shooting a cop, but at the moment it happened all I knew was that my partner saw a gun and said "gun" and the driver door opened at that moment. If I had not incapacitated him with my TigerLight, I might have shot him instead. Then I relate it back to the 7% in LA who used the TL against suspects with deadly or dangerous weapons and that stat suddenly has a lot more impact. Now they no longer see it as an officer using OC against an armed suspect, but they see it as an officer stopping the fight before it gains momentum and later learning the bad guy was armed and dangerous. When I first told them the stat from LA they looked both confused and unimpressed until I told my story and then they started nodding and writing down notes.
