Sound Sentinel Corporation Communique
In a recent correspondence from The Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety, the Canadian government acknowledged the Arms Recovery Unit Device (A.R.U.D.) as a noteworthy initiative aimed at addressing one of the nation’s most pressing challenges for theft and unauthorized access to firearms.
The Minister’s letter, dated October 16, 2025, expressed appreciation for ARUD’s innovation and the commitment behind its development:
“I appreciate your commitment to advancing firearm safety and your efforts to develop innovative solutions aimed at reducing theft and unauthorized access to firearms. Ensuring the safe storage and responsible use of firearms is of the utmost importance. I commend your efforts to reduce risks and promote responsible ownership through technological innovation.”
These words validate what our team at Sound Sentinel Corporation and our partners at the National Firearm Safety Initiative (NFSI) have worked tirelessly to achieve: a tangible, technology-driven solution that empowers responsible firearm owners while protecting communities across Canada.
ARUD: Technology with a Purpose
The Arms Recovery Unit Device (ARUD) transforms firearm storage into active protection.
Rather than relying solely on passive locks or safes, ARUD integrates motion sensing, tamper detection, geofencing, and instant alerts to notify owners the moment unauthorized movement occurs.
By turning firearm cases into intelligent guardians, ARUD aims to reduce:
Theft-driven gun crime
Accidental discharges and family tragedies
Law-enforcement response delays through real-time location data
At a projected unit cost of approximately $199, ARUD offers a cost-effective, scalable approach to firearm safety that aligns with Canada’s national goals for crime prevention, harm reduction, and technological innovation.
A Growing Partnership Between Technology and Policy
While Minister Anandasangaree noted that his role prevents him from endorsing specific products, his letter clearly recognizes the potential value of ARUD and encourages further engagement with Public Safety Canada’s Crime Prevention Branch.
This acknowledgement represents a meaningful step forward showing that Canada’s leadership is listening to innovators who bring practical, rights-respecting solutions to the table.
“Thank you again for your engagement on this important issue.”
-The Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, P.C., M.P., Minister of Public Safety-
Our Next Steps
Sound Sentinel and the NFSI remain dedicated to working collaboratively with Public Safety Canada, and firearm owners nationwide to make ARUD an accessible and trusted standard for responsible firearm storage.
Our goal is clear: to see every Canadian home with a firearm equipped with the same level of smart protection that ARUD provides.
Together, we can bridge the gap between safety and freedom, and ensure technology serves the purpose it was built for saving lives.
