FLIR Systems thermal imagers are powerful tools in the fight against crime. Through state of the art thermal imaging technology, it allows law enforcement officers to see suspects in total darkness, through smoke, moderate fog, and light foliage. A FLIR thermal imager allows law enforcement officers to see the suspect, without revealing your location.
