POLICE OFFICERS PREFER THE PVS-14

Sales #s indicate that police officers across the country prefer the PVS-14 Tactical Monocular over most other night vision equipment devices. This is probably due to the versatility of the monocular, which can be handheld, head-mounted, helmet-mounted or weapons mounted, but also from previous training with the device. Many law officers are ex-military officers and have previously been trained using the PVS-14 monocular. Their familiarity with the device more than likely has a lot to do with their decision to purchase it. While SWAT team officers are more likely to weapons mount the monocular behind a day scope such as the Eotech or Aimpoint, beat officers patrolling the neighborhoods and performing security and surveillance missions are more likely to use it as a hand held device.

The combination of these two factors is what typically drives the choice in which device is purchased.

On top of these two factors, is also the fact that the PVS-14 used in the officer's previous military was manufactured by ITT. With over 50 years of technological and manufacturing expertise, ITT industries is the leading manufacturer of night vision systems for the U.S. Armed and Allied Forces producing more than 70% of the U.S. Military's Generation 3 equipment - more than all of it's competitors - worldwide - combined.
