Robert Gruder, Stinger Systems' CEO, stated, "I'm truly excited to have Bo Dietl become part of the Stinger team. Bo will be a great asset in getting the word out and making introductions to sell the Stinger S-200 projectile stun gun. I believe this is a validation of the quality of the Stinger to have such a decorated former New York City police officer and detective become a part of the Stinger team."

Bo Dietl commented, "In my opinion, the Stinger S-200 projectile stun gun is the best product on the market. As a former police officer and detective head of a large security company, I would only want to recommend the best available products. Further, I believe the Stinger S-200 is far superior to the Taser products not only in features and ruggedness but in price as well. Because of this, I would like to assist in promoting this great product."
