ICE’s Electric Gloves Spark Debate | Orlando News

ICE is set to spend up to $20 million on a new kind of glove — G.L.O.V.E. — designed to deliver a brief electric shock to help subdue combative individuals. These gloves, made by Compliant Technologies, activate with a switch and are meant for resistance situations only, with strict warnings against use on children, pregnant women, or the elderly. Officers will need specialized training and biannual recertification. While similar tech is already in use by some local agencies, this rollout marks a growing trend in law enforcement’s pursuit of tools to manage volatile encounters — sparking ongoing debates over effectiveness and ethics.
