Arotech’s IES and Taser International Debut the
Taser Judgmental Trainer at the 112th IACP Conference

New interactive system delivers advanced training for law enforcement and government agencies deploying TASER™ devices

September 21, 2005 - Booths # 1129 and 829, 2005 IACP Conference - IES Interactive Training subsidiary, a leading provider of use-of-force training products and TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASR), a market leader in advanced non-lethal devices, today announced the launch of the TASER™ Judgmental Trainer (TJT). The TJT is an interactive system that delivers advanced simulated training for law enforcement and government agencies deploying TASER non-lethal devices.

The new system is designed to not only teach officers how to use a TASER, but more importantly, when to use the device and how to correctly react to real-world situations—using the appropriate level of force—while protecting themselves and the populace at large.

“By working closely with TASER, we have developed an exceptionally useful system for furthering the training of law enforcement and emergency responders,” said Greg Otte, president of Arotech’s IES Interactive Training.

The TJT, developed by Arotech’s IES subsidiary comes equipped with the TASER M26 and X26 User Course, produced exclusively by IES’s Summit Training International. The system incorporates the TASER device into the use-of-force continuum offering a series of interactive training scenarios from verbal commands to less-lethal force and ultimately, if the situation warrants, lethal force—all based on TASER International’s safe usage guidelines.

“TASER and IES have a long history of working closely together to develop the most advanced interactive TASER technology training available to the law enforcement community,” said Rick Smith, CEO of TASER International. “The TASER Judgmental Trainer is the latest example of our joint efforts to provide realistic, ongoing training to law enforcement and government agencies that deploy TASER non-lethal devices.”

“The TASER Judgmental Trainer demonstrates IES’s and TASER’s dedication to meeting law enforcement needs for advanced and ongoing force option training,” said Robert S. Ehrlich, Arotech Corporation’s Chairman and CEO.

Arotech’s IES and TASER International have agreed to an exclusive, joint marketing agreement that enables the companies and their authorized distributors, sales representatives and trainers to market the TASER Judgmental Trainer to law enforcement and government agencies.
