The DSKL8R Journey

In 2011, we set out to build a technology that would protect my wife when she walked from her office to her car. A simple device that was user-friendly and didn't require much training, that would give her a chance to get away immediately if she ever felt at risk, was approached or attacked. The technology we built was amazing and worked perfectly!

Fast forward: some friends in the U.S. Special Operations community asked if we could incorporate some of this technology into another system that they needed. That took our product development into an entirely unexpected realm. What a privilege and an honor to have the chance to help amazing people who risk their lives to protect us.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. John 15:13 (NIV)

While in a meeting for that project, it occurred to us that we should figure out a way to morph this technology into something police officers could use to give them a reliable, non-lethal de-escalation option that didn't exist - especially when dealing with irate or combative individuals. We had the technology, and we wanted to make it widely available to improve de-escalation and disruption options. 

From that epiphany, it took the next three years to create this breakthrough device - the DSKL8R.

Originally designed for law enforcement, this non-lethal advanced light and sound disruption technology has applications for military, security personnel, outfitters, outdoor enthusiasts and civilians alike. DSKL8R is effective for anyone looking for the next level of easy-to-use personal protection. We are proud to bring DSKL8R to market.
