The U.S. law enforcement equipment market, valued at about $11.7 billion in 2025, is expanding as new surveillance technologies become more widely used by police departments.

One increasingly popular tool is the “camera on wheels” (COWs) platform, mobile units equipped with cameras, solar panels, and telescoping masts that can be deployed to monitor public spaces.

Companies like Flock Safety and Allied Universal offer these systems, which can integrate with police networks and provide real-time video and data.

Supporters say the devices help deter crime and provide useful evidence, while critics raise concerns about privacy and the expansion of surveillance, Futurism has reported.

As demand grows, industry leaders expect continued investment in these technologies across law enforcement and security sectors.
