A Police Headquarters To Go Monterrey-based TSN Security & Telecom’s line of mobile command vehicles are outfitted with telescopic masts and closed-circuit television for monitoring large groups from multiple angles. Two models were deployed to Mexico City’s Zócalo during evening bicentennial Independence Day celebrations last September. “From this vehicle, we could see everything,” said Galicia Figueroa, a TSN marketing expert. The C30 model is seen here. Prices vary widely.![Mex Expo Car Armoring Service]()
Hot Armored Cars Tijuana-based Car Armoring Service International equips cars with seven different levels of protection, able to block everything from AK-47s to 9 mm ammunition. A few years ago, the average Mexican buyer was a private individual looking to thwart kidnapping attempts, said corporate director Marco Santelices. But due to the drug war’s escalation, a new trend has taken hold: 80 percent of Santelices’ buyers are now public authorities. Pictured to the left, a GMC Yukon Denali with level five armoring.

Thief-Confounding Fog “When you can’t see, you can’t steal,” said Søren Markussen, chief of exports for the Denmark-based business Protect Security Systems. His company manufactures a machine that injects a thick, white fog into the air upon detecting an intruder. In 20 seconds, the disoriented thief is groping his way back to his original entrance. The least expensive model costs $2,200.![Mex Expo Select Carry SlingPack]()

The device costs roughly $680.![Mex Expo Receive Case]()
