NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Universal Guardian Holdings, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: UGHO), a full service provider of security products and services to protect against terrorist, criminal and security threats to governments and businesses worldwide, today announced the adoption of a Resolution introduced by Alderman Edward M. Burke, former Chicago policeman and current Chairman of the Chicago City Council Committee on Finance, concerning Universal Guardian's Cobra StunLight(TM), "The Truly Non-Lethal" alternative. The Resolution was immediately referred to Chicago's Committee on Police and Fire. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040916/LATH089 ) The Resolution, adopted by the Mayor and the members of the City Council of the City of Chicago on January 11, 2005, recognized the innovative technology presented by the Cobra StunLight(TM). In the words of the Resolution, "WHEREAS, the City of Chicago should by every means necessary, equip our first line of defense with the protection they deserve and [the] technology found in the Cobra StunLight(TM) allows the men and women of the Chicago Police Department the advantage of a safe standoff distance ... NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that we, the Mayor and the members of the Chicago City Council ... do hereby urge the Committee on Police and Fire to hold hearings concerning alternate safety methods and latest technology found in the Cobra StunLight(TM)." Michael Skellern, CEO of Universal Guardian said, "We look forward to appearing before the Committee on Police and Fire to submit our presentation as to how the Chicago Police Department may implement a pilot program utilizing the Cobra StunLight(TM)." "I was extremely pleased by the enthusiastic reception we received from the City of Chicago," stated William C. Lowe, a member of Universal's Board of Directors and former Chairman and CEO of Gulfstream Aerospace, who attended the meeting. "It was apparent that the Cobra StunLight(TM) with its laser- aimed accuracy and ability to protect Chicago police officers from multiple assailants at safe-standoff distances of more than 21 feet, offered a cost- effective replacement to the standard police flashlight," continued Mr. Lowe. Mr. Skellern continued, "I believe that this is an important first step in demonstrating the value of providing law enforcement with an everyday tool that is a truly non-lethal alternative. We have been engaged in similar discussions with other major law enforcement departments as we ramp up our Cobra StunLight(TM) manufacturing capability for distribution to law enforcement agencies worldwide."

moving up strong for the close. get in before next week.
Today we had validation that the product is for real as the City of Chicago is looking to buy it.
The is the start of something big, something to build on.
They have international connections plus their board is represented with major players in the security field.
Their biggest potential is for the consumer market - home, car, and especially for women - do your dd and good luck.
Remember Taser was low once, they are having major problems now as well as other stun gun makers will have question marks and thus UGHO offers the "true Non-Lethal alternative"
