🚨 ATTENTION LAW ENFORCEMENT LEADERS 🚨

Drug cartels and trafficking networks are evolving; your task force's technology needs to keep pace. COPS grant funding exists specifically to help you get there.

The DOJ's COPS Office has invested over $20 BILLION in policing since 1994, and FY2026 includes dedicated funding streams for Anti-Heroin and Anti-Methamphetamine Task Forces. That means real dollars available RIGHT NOW for narcotics detection technology, investigative equipment, and personnel.

Why does this matter?
✅ Fentanyl and novel synthetic drugs demand field-deployable detection tools
✅ Trace and bulk detection devices identify dangerous substances at medically relevant levels
✅ Task forces using current tech are interdicting more and staying safer doing it
✅ Federal funding reduces the burden on local budgets

Don't leave money on the table while your officers are working without the tools they need.

Attention fire departments: the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) closes June 22, and time is running short to submit your grant application.

If your department is looking to upgrade chemical detection capabilities, both XplorIR and VipIR qualify under AFG funding. XplorIR brings handheld FTIR analysis to the field for rapid chemical ID and quantification of gases at the incident scene. VipIR adds 3-in-1 chemical analysis to keep your team safe from unknown bulk threats.

Don't leave funding on the table. Connect with us ASAP to learn how to spec either device into your AFG application.

Chile just made the largest drug seizure in its history—and it almost didn't happen.

108 tons of co***ne HCl and ketamine, hidden not in the wood but in the wood itself. Traffickers chemically impregnated timber shipments with narcotics — a method specifically designed to defeat X-ray scanners and challenge even trained K-9 units.

1,080 tons of contaminated lumber. 45 containers. Ports in Arica, Valparaíso, and San Antonio. Destinations across Europe, North America, and beyond.

This is what sophisticated drug trafficking looks like in 2026 — and it's exactly the threat MX908 was built for.

When contraband is engineered to be invisible to conventional detection, chemistry doesn't lie. MX908 identifies trace narcotics — including co***ne HCl and ketamine — on contact, cutting through even the most innovative concealment methods in seconds.

The smuggling methods are evolving. The question is whether your detection capability is keeping pace.
