Injuries and even tragic deaths to police officers have occurred far too often during spike strip deployments, highlighting the need for safer solutions. The process of manually laying out spike strips on roadways exposes officers to potential dangers, such as being struck by passing vehicles or encountering hostile situations. These risks are further amplified in high-pressure situations where time is limited and the urgency to stop a suspect is paramount.

Recognizing this issue, Spike Stinger aims to mitigate officer injuries by providing a remote-operated tire deployment system that allows officers to maintain a safe distance from the deployment area. By reducing direct physical contact with the spike strips and enabling quick and efficient deployment, Spike Stinger helps enhance officer safety while still effectively immobilizing targeted vehicles.
