Your deployment location defines your safety and your deployment options. Planning the use of your system, is required: the most advance product technology does not provide a margin of safety.
Deployment Strategy
Based on history of pursuits, take a look inside and outside your area, and develop a strategy with deployment locations ahead of time. Google Maps and other mapping software can provide a birds eye view and they can also zoom in on locations to examine areas for cover.

From a research and planning position you should define the types of locations and limit deployment only to specific areas. Your training needs to give officers the tools to discern the deference’s between concealment, cover and protective cover. The Spike Devil (AUTO-SPIKE) training manual provides the information to help facilitate a covert deployment from a safe location.
