LITTLETON, Colo. -- Arotech Corporation, (NasdaqNM: ARTX), announced today that the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training (Post) Board authorized funds for local agencies to purchase training simulators from its IES Interactive Training subsidiary. Arotech has since received purchase orders totaling $640,000 for its IES MILO(TM) Training and Presentation simulators from a variety of Arizona law enforcement agencies A law enforcement agency (LEA) is a term used to describe any agency which enforces the law. This may be a local or state police, federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). . All systems have been delivered to each agency, with training on the systems scheduled for completion by the end of October. Including these orders, Arotech's backlog was approximately $30 million at the end of August, 2005.

The Arizona Post Board, which is vested with the responsibility of administering the Peace Officer Training Fund, addresses the need for uniform peace officer selection, recruitment, retention and training standards, and provides curriculum and standards for all certified law enforcement and correctional training facilities within the state.

"This was not our first experience with a judgmental shooting simulator. We have had systems manufactured by one of the largest suppliers in use with our agency for over ten years. I think I speak for everyone on my staff in stating that MILO is superior in every aspect," Sgt. Branham said.
