Kwesst Micro Systems Inc.'s non-lethal Para Ops and Arwen products will be available for law enforcement agencies to purchase on-line (with link from Kwesst website) on Monday, Dec. 18, 2023.

"As part of scaling our Para Ops and Arwen products businesses we're making it easier for law enforcement customers to place orders," said Sean Homuth, Kwesst chief executive officer. "This follows successful Para Ops demonstrations to law enforcement agencies over the summer and fall, and a growing backlog of orders for Arwen products." A further demonstration to multilevel law enforcement jurisdictions will take place tomorrow, Thursday, Dec. 14, 2023.

Kwesst added that Para Ops has been in initial production through the fall of this year, and the company plans to ramp up for volume production in early calendar 2024 in conjunction with the promotion of Para Ops at the 2024 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Jan. 23 to 26. Kwesst will also be introducing its new Arwen 40-millimetre cartridge at the SHOT Show in response to substantial interest from many law enforcement agencies.

"All these products will be featured in live-fire demonstrations for invited guests and media at the SHOT Show Range Day, Monday, Jan. 22," said Mr. Homuth.

The company stated that it has been in discussions with law enforcement product distributors and expects to begin announcing distribution arrangements in the coming weeks and throughout 2024.
