At MOS Equipment, the parent company of Mission Darkness, we believe in empowering those who work tirelessly to protect our communities. On December 11, 2024, we proudly hosted our 2nd Annual Equipment Giveaway, continuing our commitment to supporting local law enforcement agencies with cutting-edge tools that enhance their digital forensics capabilities.
This year, we donated a Mission Darkness CYBERCYLENT Faraday Tent with Vestibule Doorway to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office and Ventura County District Attorney's Office, a significant contribution valued at $25,500 each. This state-of-the-art Faraday tent blocks electromagnetic signals, ensuring secure analysis of digital devices in investigations. Designed for seamless use in evidence processing, the tent helps law enforcement teams protect data integrity and expedite digital forensics procedures.
Ryan Judy, MOS Equipment CEO, demonstrates the Faraday Tent.
Additional high-end digital forensics equipment including the Mission Darkness Blocker Locker 7, Mission Darkness Forensic Crack Cabinet 30, and Mission Darkness BlockBox Lab XL was donated to the Santa Maria Police Department and San Luis Obispo District Attorney's Office, Bureau of Investigations.
Giving Back: Making a Meaningful Impact
At MOS Equipment, we understand the growing challenges faced by law enforcement agencies, particularly in the realm of digital forensics and evidence analysis. As technology advances, so do the methods of concealing and manipulating digital information. Tools like the Mission Darkness CYBERCYLENT Faraday Tent and Mission Darkness BlockBox Lab XL provide investigators with reliable shielding capabilities, enabling them to safely analyze mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and other wireless devices without the risk of remote tampering or data loss.
Our annual giveaway reflects our commitment to giving back to the communities where we live and work. By providing essential tools, we aim to equip local agencies with resources that might otherwise be out of reach, enhancing their ability to solve cases efficiently and protect public safety.
