Don Kilgrow (retired Utah Highway Patrol) has been credited as being the Co-inventor of the modern day Spike System*. In 1997, it was announced that his system had stopped 15K pursuits with a perfect safety record. Trooper Ken Grieves (Retired Indiana State Police) patented a new Tire Deflation Device, which was multisided (3-sided Tri-angle) and «easy» to deploy. With the new design came new tactics, where the devices were deployed without a cord. Very soon the safety of tire deflation devices were questioned and changes were necessary after serious incidents.
Spike-Belt is a new product based on Trooper Grieves “Multi-sided idea” our design, when deployed, lands on one of two sides. We at Spike Devil have created a fusion of Trooper Kilgrows, rock and tilt design, his system concept with a dual-sided product. WE have created a fusion of the best features, to address safety concerns and also produce an easy to deploy product.
In the tabs labeled “Research and Planning” we give the history of how Spike-Strips became very popular to later develop a questionable reputation. In these tabs, we explain the technology between traditional accordion systems and Multi-sided systems, so you can decide which is better for you. We later explain the features of our products, with our durable design.
Training for our Spike Belt, can be found on this site with the tab labeled “Training overview” It has a classroom portion with two hands on options for training. Training is supported with two manuals, and our YouTube channel. Spike-Belt products are designed by a 30 year veteran of the spike Industry, mentored by the icons of the industry.
