Security Devices International and Greg Sullivan

Greg Sullivan: The manufacturer of the Blunt Impact Projectiles, Security Devices International, said municipal police forces are starting to make use of the technology as well, according to Hamilton Spectator. Chief executive Greg Sullivan said the BIPs have been fairly widely deployed among officers in Montreal, while smaller task forces in Toronto, Regina and Saskatoon are also starting to make use of the weapons. Six forces across the country, including the RCMP and Correctional Service Canada, have begun making use of a type of expanding rubber bullet that designed to incapacitate targets without causing lasting harm. Edmonton and Calgary are looking into the possibility of equipping some of their patrol cars with BIP launchers as well, he added. Laurent Gingras of the Montreal police said the force uses the projectiles "very rarely" as part of swat team interventions or at certain public protests, but declined to offer more information. Sgt.
