Public Safety Moonshots
Public safety is transforming faster than any time in modern history — not because of politics, but because of technology. The shift is seismic:
- From weapons to intelligence
- From slow reports to real-time insights
- From reactive to predictive
- From lethal force to precision and restraint
The companies pioneering these systems are not megacaps — they’re moonshots. Today’s Public Safety sector includes AXON, BYRN, WRAP, DGLY, SSTI, VTSI, REKR, ADT, and SPCB. Together they form a new category of rapid-evolving, high-impact innovators.
Axon: The Titan of Modern Public Safety
Axon has evolved from Tasers into a full-stack public safety ecosystem offering body cameras, evidence AI, dispatch intelligence, fleet technologies, VR training, and real-time policing systems. As Axon scales, so does the entire security-tech ecosystem.
Byrna: The Rise of Non-Lethal Defense
Byrna’s non-lethal launchers represent a major category shift: tools that stop threats without taking lives. Adoption continues across law enforcement, private security, and civilian self-defense markets. It’s one of the only true consumer-facing public safety moonshots.
Wrap Technologies: BolaWrap and the De-Escalation Revolution
Wrap’s BolaWrap device offers a completely new method of non-lethal restraint. Used by police departments worldwide, it enables officers to subdue a suspect without injury. If global policing trends move toward restraint-first solutions, Wrap becomes a defining name.
Digital Ally: Early Body Cam Innovator With Turnaround Potential
Digital Ally built some of the earliest police camera systems. While overshadowed by Axon, it maintains contracts, recurring revenue, and brand recognition. At small-cap valuation levels, DGLY remains a speculative turnaround play in the public safety technology field.
SoundThinking: Gunshot Detection and Real-Time Urban Intelligence
SoundThinking’s ShotSpotter platform provides instant acoustic gunshot detection and coordinates real-time responses for urban safety. As cities demand more data-driven policing, SSTI remains a controversial but mission-critical infrastructure provider.
VirTra: The Future of Police Simulation Training
VirTra builds professional-grade simulation systems used by law enforcement for judgment training, de-escalation, and high-stress scenario work. Training standards nationwide are rising, and VirTra is one of the purest plays on that long-term demand curve.
Rekor Systems: AI for Roads, Mobility, and Public Safety
Rekor develops roadway intelligence systems spanning vehicle recognition, traffic management, compliance automation, and public safety analytics. It’s not just a “traffic stock” — it’s a growing layer of AI infrastructure for modern cities.
ADT: The Civilian Public Safety Layer
ADT provides nationwide home security, commercial monitoring, and smart safety systems. It represents the civilian side of the sector — predictable, widespread, and foundational to the larger public safety ecosystem.
SuperCom: Digital Monitoring and Justice System Technology
SuperCom specializes in electronic monitoring, offender tracking, and digital compliance systems. It occupies an overlooked but essential layer of public safety infrastructure with strong international momentum.
Final Take: Public Safety Is Becoming a Tech Sector
Public safety is no longer defined by weapons — it’s defined by intelligence, precision, and real-time infrastructure. As Axon leads the category, the smaller innovators are rapidly expanding the edges of the sector.
The result: Public Safety is now one of the most investable real-world themes of the next decade.
