Giving Law Officers Validated Effectiveness

The Department of Homeland Security published a notice stating ICE plans to spend up to $20 million to purchase thousands of conductive distraction and de-escalation devices, known as G.L.O.V.E. (Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter), for officers and agents by March 2027.

The G.L.O.V.E. devices are manufactured by Compliant Technologies LLC of Lexington, Kentucky, and function as standard patrol gloves until an officer activates an electrical mode via a switch. The gloves must be applied directly to skin to deliver a pain stimulus.

According to the manufacturer, the gloves deliver up to 380 volts upon skin contact and are advertised as bringing individuals into compliance in under three seconds, leaving no burns, marks or scars. The devices are not effective through clothing.

John Peters, president of the Institute for the Prevention of In-Custody Deaths, told the AP the sensation is "like a bee sting" and called the gloves "certainly an effective tool" when officers encounter resistance. He said ICE's planned purchase would likely be the company's largest to date.

The manufacturer warns the devices should not be used as punishment, against individuals displaying only verbal defiance, or on high-risk populations including children, pregnant women and elderly or disabled people. Officers must be certified and recertified every two years to use them.

Jenn Rolnick Borchetta, deputy project director on policing at the ACLU, questioned the use of the devices for civil immigration enforcement, while the National Immigration Law Center's president also criticized the proposal. The DHS notice stated the solicitation for a no-bid contract could be published as early as Friday.
