Equipping Tasmania Police with the ENFORCR® EVOAdapt Carrier

As a leader in law enforcement wearables across Australia and New Zealand, ADA partnered with Tasmania Police to supply officers with the advanced ENFORCR® EVOAdapt Carrier. This case study explores how our focus on collaborative design, custom solutions, and product innovation led to the successful development and rollout of a carrier that sets a new benchmark for officer safety, comfort, and performance.

The Solution: Collaborative Innovation in Action

ADA’s Innovation Cell worked closely with Tasmania Police to engineer a purpose-built solution. ADA also engaged with local industry and partners Armor Australia to supply both hard and soft armour plates, for improved integration with the ENFORCR® EVOAdapt Carrier.

  • Collaborative Prototyping: The initial design and prototyping phase was completed in just four months, incorporating direct feedback from Tasmania Police to refine the carrier for optimal field performance.
  • Tailored Supply Chain: A comprehensive support system was established, including customisable pouches, protective plates, and hi-vis integrations, ensuring every officer received gear tailored to their specific role.
  • Efficient Production: Following the successful prototyping, bulk production was scaled efficiently, enabling a state-wide rollout
