Universal Guardian Holdings Inc. Announces Formation of New Non-Lethal Security Products Subsidiary
Universal Guardian Holdings Inc. (OTCBB:UGHO), a homeland security and defense technology company is pleased to announce the formation and launch of a new non-lethal technology subsidiary. Shield Defense Corp., the new subsidiary, plans to introduce a series of non-lethal products over the next few months that can effectively incapacitate assailants from zero to more than 300 feet. Shield Defense Corp. has appointed Dennis Cole as president due to his background as a former chief of police, sheriff’s captain, SWAT commander and an internationally recognized non-lethal and chemical agents expert. The company plans to leverage professional user credibility for release to the private security and consumer markets.
“Shield Defense Corporation non-lethal weapons provide safe, accurate and effective alternatives to deadly force to subdue assailants in a number of sensitive environments, ranging from airplanes and airline terminals, homes or autos, crowded shopping centers, to checkpoints in Iraq,” said Michael Skellern, chairman and CEO of Universal Guardian. “A lethal weapon in an airplane or automatic weapon in a crowded airport or shopping center is a prescription for disaster.”
President Dennis Cole stated, “Professional and consumer markets are increasingly demanding more effective methods to defuse civil unrest and subdue criminals without causing permanent injury to law enforcement personnel, innocent bystanders, homeowners, or criminals.” Cole also remarked, “With more than 5 million police officers worldwide and over 120 million households in the United States alone, the potential market for Shield Defense non-lethal products is well defined and very sizeable.”
