Don Kilgrow (retired Utah Highway Patrol) has been credited as being the Co-inventor of the modern day Spike System*. In 1997, it was announced that his system had stopped 15K pursuits with a perfect safety record. Trooper Ken Grieves (Retired Indiana State Police) patented a new Tire Deflation Device, which was multisided and «easy» to deploy. With the new design came new tactics, where the devices were deployed without a cord. Very soon the safety of tire deflation devices were questioned and changes were necessary after serious incidents.

Spikedevil is a new product based on Trooper Grieves “Multi-sided idea” our design allows the officer to deploy and the spikes land on one of two sides. The multi sided concept has become very popular because it offers what some call a «goof proof deployment». We at Spike Devil have created a fusion of Trooper Kilgrows, rock and tilt design, his system concept with a Multi-sided product. WE have created a fusion of the best features, to address safety concerns and also produce an easy to deploy product.

In the tabs labeled “Research and Planning” we give the history of how Spike-Strips became very popular to later develop a questionable reputation. We describe the questioned tactics, which Instructors should be very careful to look for and train around. Finally, we explain the features of our products, the system concept, with our durable winders, and deployment sleeve, that help make it a safer product to use.

Training is supported with two web sites, manuals, and our YouTube channel. Spike-Belt products are designed by a 30 year veteran of the spike Industry, mentored by the icons of the industry.
