ZARO's client list includes more than three thousand state and local law enforcement agencies as well as the US Air Force, FBI, US Marshals Service, Drug Enforcement Administration, US Park Police. Secret Service and other US federal agencies. This paper will provide an overview of the current existing CAP-STUN products and also furnish a brief description of a technological leap being undertaken at ZARC, in order to develop systems for use by modern military. Law enforcement and miltary have come to rely CAP-STUN because it provides: instantaneous control over violent or emotionally disturbed subjects, immediate impact on those under the influence of narcotics or alcohol, effective crowd control, the reduction of escalation to higher levels of force.
