ABOUT ASP

For nearly fifty years, ASP has had a single-minded focus on providing law enforcement officers with the finest tools for the safe performance of their duties, and industry-leading training in the use of those tools. Every day, professionals in over 100 countries trust our products and training with their lives—so they can’t afford less than the very best.

ASP spends a significant percentage of its revenues on research and development, design, prototyping, lab testing and field testing. In order to make it to market and wear our brand, a product must reflect what we call “ASP DNA”

In short, new ASP products must make a positive contribution to the profession, while meeting or exceeding our high standards of design, quality and reliability.

The word "Procedures" in the ASP company name signifies the dedication to not only providing superior products, but also comprehensive training in their use. ASP training focuses on clear, simple, repeatable and legally-defensible techniques and tactics, fine-tuned over decades of experience and real-world results ASP training is so effective, and so respected, that it has been adopted by agencies in over 100 countries.

In addition to the direct company training that ASP provides, supports and endorses a number of independent training organizations and individuals who provide private instruction – typically fee-based – in the use of ASP products and tactics.
