Fox Labs
Our mission is based on our faith and our integrity.
To provide the law enforcement community with the finest products available to enable those who protect us and uphold our laws to be safer, more efficient, and more effective in carrying out their duties. This will be accomplished by using an existing product or creating new products to fulfill specific requirements.
Righteousness over profit.
Trust and honor will always be placed above the dollar. This applies to every area of our business, and particularly in the area of education. Information will be presented as an educational experience rather than a marketing advertisement. Only substantiated facts will be presented, and potential business may be lost when the facts do not coincide with what a customer would like to hear or believe. If Fox Labs International says its true then all available research is in place to support it.
We will be the standard bearer for our industry; a leader, not a follower.
We are in business to serve the public with primary focus on the law enforcement community. Our concentration on providing law enforcement with superior products will lead us also to provide superior products to the civilian market. Each product that Fox Labs has introduced since 1994 has been unique, better than what was currently in existence and has ultimately changed the way similar products in the marketplace are viewed. This will carry through.
Fox Labs, Incorporated, was founded in 1992. The intent was to create and sell the best less-lethal, self defense spray products available to the civilian market. In 1993, after investing over $250,000.00 in research, it was determined that law enforcement agencies could benefit from new, improved formulas and products and the primary marketing objective was revised. Fox personnel did more interviews with officers from around the country and, working with one of the leading chemists in the field, created formulas that became industry benchmarks: FOX Premium Aerosol Defense Sprays.
In 1993, FOX LABS became the first company to introduce law enforcement agencies to a 5% Oleoresin Capsicum (OC), less-lethal, non-flammable, aerosol defense spray using a true 2 Million Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) resin in their formula. Simultaneously they introduced 2% formulas using OC rated at 2mm SHU OC and 1% OC & 1% CS (teargas) formulas-¬and revolutionized the industry! Other companies followed the Fox Labs lead by creating formulas of 5.5%, 10% and even greater solutions claiming that “more was better.”
This was not and still is not true, although they still persist in spreading this misinformation. Higher percentages of OC delay how fast the formula can work(that is how fast the formula’s heat properties can be absorbed by the skin) making them less safe to use in situations where one is being attacked and needs virtually instant stopping power. Higher percentages of OC also increase recovery time and therefore the liability risks.
The truth is there are two things that determine the intensity and effectiveness of an aerosol defense spray product. First it is the SHU rating, and secondly the base ingredients within the formulas. FOX Premium aerosol defense sprays are still the leaders in these categories and are used by virtually every type of law enforcement agency and their officers in addition to civilians from all walks of life all over the world. Because of their field-proven reliability and extraordinary stopping power FOX Premium aerosol defense sprays have become legendary amongst the people who use them. 25 years after our inception, and Fox Labs is still innovating with industry leading pepper sprays, sudecon wipes, spray holsters, interlocking shields and more.
