About ITT Night Vision's Sponsorship of this Column
ITT Night Vision is sponsoring this column in order to facilitate information sharing across law enforcement around this important topic and to support law enforcement in their efforts to secure the homeland and better prepare for and respond to acts of terrorism.
Every year, ITT Night Vision partners with various associations in support of the law enforcement community, including the IACP/ITT Community Policing Awards, the Police Officer Safety Technology (POST) program within IACP/SACOP, and the Patrol and Tactical Operations Committee (PTO) also within the IACP. These efforts range from regional sponsorships of K-9 and SWAT team competitions to national and international sponsorships of programs.
