About Slade Gurr

I have a unique background in technology development and law enforcement. I worked in Law Enforcement for 10 years as a Detective and Patrolman. During the course of my career I developed an understanding and education in covert video surveillance. I have used that knowledge to improve the options and technology that are available to today’s law enforcement. My business partner and I have developed a unique solution to problems that law enforcement everywhere currently face. We have worked diligently since 2010 in order to make our products available to law enforcement agencies around the world. Using my background with Law Enforcement and technology development I have been able to leverage those experiences and learn new concepts and methodology to further advance product development in the computing industry. I have managed world-renowned product lines and conduct the research necessary to develop new and exciting products that are used world wide in a wide variety of markets, such as gas and oil, forestry, utilities, geospatial, law enforcement, and military.
