Select Engineering Services LLC, a Double , is delighted to announce their Automatic Injury Detection (AID) is one of two products nominated to compete in the 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program.

Over the last several years ambushes and attacks on Law Enforcement Officers and First Responders have dramatically increased, with officers having been killed or critically injured as a result of 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) 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 change in location (automatically) even if the user is unconscious or being 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.

SES has dedicated itself to doing all that is possible to protect those individuals who place their lives on the line every day in order 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 officers 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

• 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 the Automatic Injury Detection (AID) notifications and location updates for a common operating picture and situational awareness.

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

Select Engineering Services Takes Two in 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program

American Security Today’s Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards is the preeminent U.S. Homeland Security Awards Program, and now entering it’s Seventh 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), is a wearable device that automatically sends alert text messages, with your personal info and a link to your GPS location in the event of an emergency.

• The PET system provides a covert method to summon help when you are faced with a dangerous situation and it’s impossible to call help without alerting your attacker (i.e. reaching for your cell phone).

• The PET system allows you to avoid escalating a potentially dangerous confrontation and have backup on the way in seconds.

• *Select Engineering Services was also recognized with Multiple Award Wins in the 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Programs.

The Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards highlight the most cutting-edge and forward-thinking security solutions coming onto the market today, to ensure our readers have the information they need to stay ahead of the competition and keep our Nation safe – one facility, street, and city at a time.

The United States was forever changed 20 years ago on September 11th, and we were fortunate to have many of those who responded to those horrific tragedies join us at the 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Luncheon.

In the days that followed 9/11, the critical needs of protecting our country catapulted us into new and innovative ways to secure our homeland – which is how many of the agencies and enterprise organizations that are today ‘ASTORS’ Awards Champions, came into being.

Our 2021 keynote speaker featured a moving and informative address from TSA Administrator and Vice-Admiral of the United States Coast Guard (Ret), David Pekoske; to our attendees who traveled from across the United States and abroad, on the strategic priorities of the 64,000 member TSA workforce in securing the transportation system, enabling safe, and in many cases, contactless travel.

Legendary Police Commissioner William Bratton of the New York Police Department, the Boston Police Department, and former Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department was also live at the event, meeting with attendees and signing copies of his latest work ‘The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America,’ courtesy of the generosity of our 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Premier Sponsors.

The 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program was Proudly Sponsored by AMAROK, Fortior Solutions and SIMS Software, along with Returning Premier Sponsors ATI Systems, Attivo Networks, Automatic Systems, and Reed Exhibitions.
