Harrisburg, PA (July 2014)– IWI US, Inc. a subsidiary of Israel Weapon Industries

(IWI) Ltd., is proud to announce the Township of Lakewood, NJ police department

have contracted to issue the TAVOR® SAR to their police officers. The Lakewood PD

services approximately 90,000 residents in Ocean County, New Jersey, one of the

fastest growing areas in the region.

The TAVOR® SAR met the demands and requirements of the Lakewood PD for

reliability, ease-of-maintenance, durability, accuracy and overall length. The

compact bullpup design is highly favored by law enforcement for its ability to easily

maneuver through close quarter interiors, doorways and while exiting patrol vehicles. The TAVOR® SAR also

allows officers to operate and easily control the rifle with one hand if the officer is signaling, using additional

tools or controlling his K-9.

Other favorable features for the Lakewood PD were the TAVOR’s fully ambidextrous controls, a full-length

top-mounted integral Picatinny rail and for 45° rail for mounting accessories. The TAVOR® SAR also uses

standard AR-15/M16 magazines without any modifications.

“We are very proud to have the Lakewood NJ police department choose to transition over to the TAVOR®

SAR,” Michael Kassnar, VP of Sales and Marketing for IWI US. “Since the release of the TAVOR® in the US

market, more law enforcement agencies shown interest in replacing their standard AR models for the

compact, bullpup style of the TAVOR® SAR. The pedigree of the Israeli Forces designed and battle-tested

bullpup rifle is world renowned making it a perfect choice for law enforcement across the US.”
