Mobile phone detectors for police
Effective policing requires visibility of what is happening beyond what can be seen. Mobile phones and wireless devices can play a role in coordinating criminal activity, supporting investigations or creating potential security risks for officers and the public.
Our detection devices help police identify active signals, locate devices of interest and build a clearer picture of their surroundings.
From targeted searches and operational deployments to wider-area monitoring, the right detection capabilities give police greater awareness of wireless activity and help teams respond with confidence when it matters most.
How phone and device detection supports border security
Saves police time and resources
Speed up manual searches by identifying areas of activity from a distance.
Discover any device with connectivity
Our products detect RF signals in every cellular band.
Flexible and easy to use
Instantly switch between scanning for activity and pinpointing the signal location.
Discrete and non-intrusive
Phone detection doesn’t interfere or intercept communications, it just detects them, making it often more legally compliant than other prevention or surveillance tools.
Reliable and hard-wearing
Made from carbon-fibre, the casing is durable, lightweight and includes hand straps for secure use.
