Crisis negotiator on hostage call, recordedwith others listening covertly.

Eskan is delighted and proud to receive its second Queen’s Award for Enterprise, this time for Innovation - four years after receiving its first for International Trade. This second recognition from the Queen is a tremendous privilege for everyone involved with Eskan, its employees and its suppliers. The company’s ESKAN-ADRANA 50 hostage and crisis equipment is itself a double award winner; the first being a Digital Crime Management and Forensic Award. Designed to be simple to operate, this mobile hostage negotiator/victim communicator kit stores evidential quality audio recordings of incoming and outgoing voice calls and messages. As well as the negotiator’s wired headset, multiple advisors can be covertly and independently connected - wired or wirelessly - to monitor the calls. It is currently being used worldwide.

Headquartered in purpose-built UK premises, and supported by an international partner network, the company delivers reliable, robust and proven technology to its customers around the world. Developed by a team of in-house experts, Eskan’s products and solutions are customer driven and evaluated to ensure they can meet the demanding and ever-increasing operational requirements of end-users. ESKAN’S CUSTOMERS Be they government, law enforcement or military, the company’s customers all need to be able to trust Eskan fully in order to share their operational information. Exceptional customer service constitutes a core value for the business, and the aim is to become a trusted partner with customers, whether they’re agents or end-users. ESKAN’S SPECIALIST MARKETS: • Covert audio surveillance: wired and RF audio • Counter-surveillance: uncovering potential security breaches without alerting covert surveillance operators, • RF jamming: programmable hand-held, portable and vehicle-based jamming equipment has been developed to protect law enforcement and military personnel from the danger of explosive devices, and to prevent RF surveillance and tactical information leaks from mobile phones, • Training: technical innovation needs to be backed by training and support. Eskan trains customers to operate the equipment they products for mission critical operations including hostage and crisis negotiation,

have purchased and, in many cases, provides additional training on how the equipment can be used more effectively. ESKAN’S EMPLOYEES The company is a close-knit unit, akin to a family environment. All employees are trustworthy and security vetted; some have worked for Eskan for over 20 years. Eskan would like to thank all of its employees for their contribution in winning these awards. THE RELEVANCE OF ESKAN’S SERVICES Targeted surveillance is directed at particular individuals or groups that can be carried out covertly to inform the authorities about potential terrorism, a specific investigation or operation. Prevention of terrorism is now key to keeping society safe, and covert surveillance is used to bring criminals and criminal organisations to justice. Counter-surveillance equipment is supplied to protect information, assets and intelligence from internal or external hostile surveillance. Advances in UAS and IED equipment used by terrorist organisations have been countered by Eskan’s RF jamming capability - equipment which enables law enforcement teams internationally to carry out their roles effectively. Thus, through surveillance, counter-surveillance and RF jamming equipment, Eskan is a significant contributor to government and law enforcement agencies, helping them fight against terrorism and organised crime to make the world a safer place.
