LAS VEGAS, Sept. 12, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Defense Technologies International Corp (OTCQB:DTII) (The Company), a developer of security technologies, issues a Shareholder Update.

Defense Technology Corporation (DTC), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, is in the final stage of production of its New Passive Scanner Unit which will be in-house tested during the coming days.  The testing will be done under the guidance of a qualified independent technology based expert. A full report of the results will be broadcast to the shareholders, the public, and the media. 

The first New Scanner Unit will be installed in a government-run public school and beta tested in a real world environment.  We anticipate this full demonstration will kick off a major marketing campaign assisted by DTC’s lobbyist.

The redesigned New Scanner Unit is more sensitive and accurate as well as having blue tooth communication built in allowing for the easy transmission and storing of scan data in real time.

Merrill W. Moses the CEO of Defense Technologies International Corp. commented, “Based on the previously announced successful demonstration at the offices of the Department of Homeland Security and with the added improvements, we are confident the New Scanner Unit will be a success. We are pleased to be able to enter the market in the very near future with a device that will bring improved safety to schools and other venues of public assembly.”
