Select Engineering Services LLC, a Double Winner, in the 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, is delighted to announce its Automatic Injury Detection (AID), and Personal Emergency Transmitter (PET) nominated to compete in the 2023 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program.

Over the last several years, ambushes and attacks on Law Enforcement Officers and First Responders have dramatically increased, with officers being killed or critically injured due to these attacks.

Many of these officers were incapacitated in the attacks and unable to call for assistance or notify dispatchers of their location, and too many have perished as a result.

Select Engineering Services has developed patented Automatic Injury Detection (AID) ‘Penetration Detection Sensors’ that seamlessly insert inside a police officer, security guard, or military warfighter’s body armor carrier (both front and back panels) in front of the ballistic panels which protect the wearers and facing the attacker.

No modification to body armor is required.

Automatic Injury Detection (AID) Penetration Detection Sensors instantly detect injuries and attacks, whether the wearer is stabbed, shot, or struck by IED shrapnel – then automatically sends the injury zone and attack location to the entire agency via text alert messages with google driving directions.

Immediate, Precise, and Reliable Communication – During a Traumatic Event

Automatic Injury Detection (AID) from Select Engineering Services, immediately sends actionable data over the officers’ existing smartphone or radio and instantly reports any penetrating injury affecting the coverage area.

AID can even detect arrows and blade instruments that cannot be detected by acoustic detectors that simply detect gunfire, not the targets he is shooting at or the diversion tactics.

Automatic Injury Detection (AID) penetration sensors work even if the officer or soldier is incapacitated and will continue to update any location change (automatically) even if the user is unconscious or transported against their will.

No user input is required for continued tracking and “listening in” at their changing locations.

This is a revolutionary jump in communication using push data instead of pull, requiring no user input.

Automatic Injury Detection (AID) alerts include what area of their body was injured, the officer’s heart rate, as well as communicate the injured officer’s medical information so first responders will be advised as to blood types and/or any relevant allergies before even deploying to the site.

Select Engineering Services has dedicated itself to doing all possible to protect those individuals who place their lives daily to protect us.

AID KEY BENEFITS INCLUDE:

• No Dispatcher required / No Errors /  No Delays

• When the AID sensors detect a puncture or gunshot, it automatically generates alerts of your location by text, to up to 30 preset numbers – even if the officer is fully incapacitated.

• Information includes the GPS location of the officer, the location of the injury, the officer’s blood type, and any known allergies

• Opens a microphone so responders can “listen in” to what’s happening at the attack location

• Starts Video Camera (Visual Labs, App)

• Sends “Heart Rate” from watch (Galaxy or Apple Watch).

• Once activated, it tracks the officers location – and updates the location every time their mobile phone moves 30 feet or more in any direction

• Common Operating Picture and Situational Awareness

• Hack Resistant- Does not rely on centralized 911 dispatcher’s CAD

• Select Engineering Services Five-year warranty

• 1-year rechargeable battery

Community safety increase:

Officer(s) being the critical first line of defense, every second a shooter is active can result in additional casualties – Automatic Injury Detection (AID) sensors assist in rapid deployment for the fastest possible coordinated response.

AID Motorola Team and Partner

Select Engineering Services has teamed with Motorola Solutions as part of their Command Central Aware to add Automatic Injury Detection (AID) notifications and location updates for a common operating picture and situational awareness.

The combination of AID and Command Central Aware provides the most effective management if there is a single or coordinated attack on the agency.

Select Engineering Services a Multi-Award Champion in 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program

American Security Today’s Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards is the preeminent U.S. Homeland Security Awards Program, and now entering its Eighth Year, continues to recognize industry leaders of Physical and Border Security, Cybersecurity, Emergency Preparedness – Management and Response, Law Enforcement, First Responders, as well as federal, state and municipal government agencies in the acknowledgment of their outstanding efforts to Keep our Nation Secure.

Select Engineering Services (First of Two)

• Best Personal/ Protective Equipment Product

• Automatic Injury Detection (AID) System

• The Automatic Injury Detection (AID) system provides help in seconds when the sensing panel has been pierced by a bullet, knife or shrapnel.

• When an AID flexible mylar sensor panels (front & back, comfortably inserted into the wearer’s bulletproof vest) is pierced by either a bullet, knife or shrapnel from an IED, the communications module will sense the break in the circuit and automatically sends an emergency alert with GPS location to phone, radio or communication system.

• The automated and instant emergency alerts help save lives by improving the response from medics and backup personnel to stop, apprehend or contain the attacker, even when the officer is incapacitated.

Select Engineering Services (Second of Two)

Best Alert Notification System

• Personal Emergency Transmitter (PET)

• The Personal Emergency Transmitter (PET) system is a very simple and affordable solution for personal safety.

• People at risk who struggle with complex technology or expensive subscriptions to elaborate security solutions can now improve their safety with PET.
  

• With a simple press of the button, PET provides immediate notification to your pre-selected contacts that you are in an emergency situation. During an attack or other emergency, it may be impossible to access your phone, fumble with unlocking and opening an app, or provide updates. An attacker will knock the phone away if the victim attempts to access it.

• Users can activate PET covertly, so an attacker does not even know that help is on the way, sending a precise location for your recipients so that they can find you and provide help as soon as possible. The location links the recipient receives can be opened in Google maps, and they can easily navigate directly to the scene.

• PET sells for a low, one-time cost with no monthly payments and no battery charging or maintenance required. It’s an ideal security solution for anyone at risk of attack or injury, including probation officers, realtors, social service workers, rideshare drivers, students, seniors, hunters, and off-road vehicle users.

• *Select Engineering Services has now been recognized as a Multi-‘ASTORS’ Awards Champion for its Sixth Consecutive Year in the Homeland Security Awards Programs.

The pinnacle of the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program is the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards Ceremony Luncheon Banquet, an exclusive, full-course plated meal event, in the heart of New York City.

The 2022 exclusive sold-out ‘ASTORS’ luncheon featured representatives of law enforcement, public safety, and industry leaders who came together to honor the selfless service of those who stand on the front lines and those who stand beside them – providing the capabilities and technologies to create a safer world for generations to come.

Last year marked the 20th anniversary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which came out in force to discuss comprehensive collaborations between private and public sectors that have led to the development of intelligence and technologies which serve to protect our nation.

The keynote address was provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations (OFO) Deputy Executive Assistant Commissioner (DEAC) Diane Sabatino, who described the changes to CBP through the tragedy of 9/11 and the relentless commitment to its mission and ongoing investment in the latest technologies and innovations to protect our borders and Homeland.

The resounding theme of the DEAC’s remarks was her pride in the women and men of the CBP and their families who support them.

AST was also joined by Legendary Police Commissioner William Bratton, who spoke about his love for the City of New York, the Profession of law enforcement to which he has dedicated his life, and for which he continues to drive thought leadership and innovation.

New York City Police Department (NYPD) Chief of Department Kenneth Corey, came out to address Luncheon attendees and shared some of his experiences and the changes in policing he’s witnessed over his more than three decades of service.

FDNY Chief Joseph Jardin honored the men and women of the FDNY, not only those who currently serve but all of those who have selflessly served, with special recognition of those lost on 9/11.

Chief Jardin spoke about the continuing health battle of many following 9/11 with cancer and respiratory disease, yet now knowing the full consequences, would not have made a different decision to respond.

As Chief Jardin noted, mission-driven service is the lifeblood of every firefighter, volunteer, and sworn member, and has been so throughout the history of the Fire Service.

Former head of the FBI’s active shooter program, Katherine Schweit joined AST to sign complimentary copies of her book, ‘STOP THE KILLING: How to End the Mass Shooting Crisis,’ thanks to the generosity of our 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Sponsors.
