August 28 2024 - 3:05PM
Byrna Technologies Inc. (“Byrna” or the
“Company”) (Nasdaq: BYRN), a technology company,
specializing in the development, manufacture, and sale of
innovative less-lethal personal security solutions, today announced
that the Ministry of the Interior of Uruguay has purchased 400
Byrna launchers and over 100,000 rounds of less-lethal ammunition
for the Uruguayan National Police.
This purchase, which includes 300 handheld
launchers and 100 long gun launchers, was highlighted during a
demonstration at the Republican Guard’s shooting range. The event
was attended by Uruguay’s Minister of the Interior, Nicolás
Martinelli, along with other senior officials, who emphasized the
importance of integrating these less-lethal tools into police
operations to enhance public safety and reduce reliance on lethal
force.
These new launchers provide the Uruguayan
National Police with an additional, less-lethal option before
resorting to firearms, offering a critical tool for managing
situations such as public demonstrations or incidents where
individuals barricade themselves. The devices are designed to
reduce the combat capacity of potential threats with minimal
physical harm.
The launchers will initially be used by the
Republican Guard, with plans to expand their deployment across
other divisions following a series of comprehensive training
programs. These training sessions, conducted at the Republican
Guard’s range, will ensure that officers are proficient in using
the launchers for a variety of scenarios, including crowd control
and high-risk interventions.
Byrna CEO Bryan Ganz stated, “The Ministry of
the Interior’s decision to equip their police force with Byrna
launchers underscores the growing recognition of our products as
effective, less-lethal solutions for law enforcement. This
development aligns with our broader strategy in Latin America,
where we continue to see strong momentum and significant
opportunities.”
