Case Study: US Police Department achieves discreet, safer undercover operations with Orion Labs

US Police Department Maintains Safety & Efficiency in Undercover Operations

The US Police Department, a large Western metro-area law enforcement agency, needed a safer way to coordinate undercover operations in crowded public settings such as marathons, parades, and demonstrations. Officers had to remain discreet and avoid using bulky radios or other gear that would reveal their identity, while still maintaining secure communication with supervisors.

Orion Labs provided its lightweight Onyx devices, which can be worn under clothing and used with smartphones for covert push-to-talk communication. With encrypted messaging, unlimited range, and GPS location tracking, Orion Labs helped the department stay connected across distances of up to 90 miles from headquarters, improve officer safety, and coordinate operations without compromising cover.
