Two Emergencies. One Tool.
Built for the first 3 minutes …
Haldan puts rapid glass entry and initial fire suppression in the hands of the officer who is already there — first on scene, before fire and rescue arrive.
Your officer is there first. Their tools aren't.
Police often arrive at vehicle crashes minutes ahead of fire and EMS. When a window won’t break, or an engine or battery starts to smoke, the patrol officer usually has no tool built for the job. They wait. They improvise. The most critical minutes slip away.
Modern vehicles make it harder. Laminated side glass increasingly resists the center punches officers have long relied on, and vehicle fires can escalate quickly. The gap between “first on scene” and “able to act” has widened.
We build for those 3 critical minutes.
Modern crashes. Outdated tools.
Fire and rescue are minutes away. The patrol officer on scene often carries tools designed for an earlier era of vehicle.
Independent testing has shown the limits of the standard kit:
Window punch — designed for tempered glass; AAA found that none of the consumer escape tools it tested could break laminated side glass.
Baton — a striking tool, not a glass-entry tool.
ABC extinguisher — where carried, often undersized for vehicle fires and requires close proximity.
Seatbelt cutter — cuts belts; does not gain entry.
The result: officers wait, or improvise with what they have. The first minutes often determine the outcome — and that is the window Haldan is built for.

Haldan is a single tool that mounts flat in the patrol vehicle — on a wall, floor, or shotgun rack — and puts two critical capabilities in one officer’s hands for the minutes before fire and rescue arrive:
Rapid entry — gets through modern laminated side glass that defeats the punches officers have always carried.
Initial fire suppression — knocks down an incipient vehicle fire and buys time for rescue, usable near a trapped occupant.
Officer-survival and civilian-rescue equipment — built for the gap before the fire department arrives, not a replacement for it.
Built in Maine. Built to last.
Haldan is designed and built in Maine from aerospace-grade aluminum and hardened steel — no batteries, no tech, no fragile parts, nothing to leave you stranded mid-call. It mounts flat and low-profile, rides in your vehicle for years, and works the moment you need it.
‘‘We build for those critical first 3 minutes.’’
