According to a study by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, the number one cause of death for police officers in their five year study was being struck by a vehicle while out of their squad car. Guardian Angel™'s premium wearable safety device was designed to keep officers safer on duty: its ‘Elite Series’ of personal safety lights.

Having tapped its users for the latest round of innovations, Guardian Angel improved the Guardian Angel Elite Series wearable light in April 2020.
Features
Superpowered battery - Not only does the battery charge at double the speed, once it’s powered up it runs up to 20% longer. Upgrading to a Type-C charging connector reduced the dead-to-full charging time to less than 2 hours, while also making it easier to plug in. Users can also now track the improved battery life with an indicator light bar.
Tether attachment - In addition to the versatile magnetic mount and heavy-duty clip, the devices now have a small built-in hinge to attach a tether. (This feature can also be added to legacy devices without the tether hinge.)
New emergency flash patterns - The lights can now flash in an SOS pattern strobe to beam a universal help signal up to 3 miles with a simple push of a button.
Brighter LEDs - The LEDs, which were already visible for up to 3 miles, are now powerful enough to reach 3-8 times that brightness, depending on the color. To maintain the brightness control but accommodate the bold new beams, the illumination can now be cranked up to an additional 4th setting - Max.
Improved mechanics - To adapt the larger battery and more powerful LEDs for the same sleek size, the interior includes advancements like an internal heatsink on the PCB board, which moderates the device’s temperature so the outside remains cool even while the LEDs are on the brightest setting for extended periods of time.
The original line of Guardian Angel devices, the ‘100 Series,’ has already been adopted by thousands of police officers, firemen, EMS, and security guards across the world. With this new product release, the company looks to bolster its mission to keep first responders safe.
