An officer equipped with spikes, has a pro-active way to keep out of the pursuit and is positioned to bring the vehicle to a stop. Deploying a spike device should be the safest task for any officer involved in the pursuit. Positioning yourself behind cover provides protection, not afforded to officers in the pursuit.

Our goal is to help you develop a spike program and an effective training program for your department. Regardless if you select an accordion type deflator like our Auto-spike or a multisided system like our Spike-Belt we will provide information to help you better select a product and use it safe.

On this web page, in the tabs labeled, Research and planning, we compare product features between the Accordion type systems and multi side designs.

On our training sites www.spikebelt.net we explain the difference between our Spike Belt and other multi-sided brand deflators. On our training site www.autospike.net we explain the differences between other accordion brands. The Tabs labeled “Training” will provide you with an overview of training for each distinct system.
