KWESST Micro Systems Inc. reported on its demonstrations of PARA OPS to Southern California law enforcement agencies at their request following demonstrations at SHOT Show 2024 in Las Vegas in January. The Company stated that it continues to conduct a program of test and evaluation with a growing number of agencies following interest expressed at SHOT Show in its new PARA OPS and new ARWEN 40mm products. KWESST has also been invited by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to its invitation-only Less Lethal Expo 2024 to be held June 6, 2024 at the LAPD Elysian Park Academy, with more than 100 law enforcement agencies expected in attendance.

The Company added that some agencies are retaining or have requested samples of the PARA OPS systems for continuing test and evaluation, including in Southern California. The PARA OPS patented Low Energy Cartridge (LEC) system is designed to be a more reliable and safer alternative to many legacy products on the market, with versatile application across a wide range of situations for law enforcement, corrections facilities, maritime operations, dangerous animal control, private security and personal protection. KWESST is also demonstrating PARA OPS and its new Arwen 40mm baton round to 20 elite special police forces at an international invitation-only gathering this Spring, as announced February 12, 2024.
