The militarization of the police in the Americas has resulted in the proliferation of advanced equipment such as heavy vehicles and assault weapons etc.

Recently, the US Navy has started using non-lethal weapons in vehicles and boat, dispersing crows and combating attackers.

“Of late, armed forces, police, and law enforcement agencies are trying to combat criminal activities through less lethal technologies such as Tasers, pepper spray, bean bag rounds and stun grenades. It is also using gyroplanes and small unmanned aircrafts, which are cost-effective and takes less time in executing search and rescue operations,” says Sriram Mohan, Lead Analyst, Aerospace & Defense, Technavio Research.
