Definitions follow the testing program's own explanation of the list.
388 companies have at least one active or suspended listing. Each name opens that company's full listing history on PersonalGuard, with every model, level and date NIJ gives. 99 more have only inactive listings; search for them above.
Both NIJ tables come from the Office of Justice Programs open-data API: Standard 0101.06 and Standard 0101.07. The notices come from the testing program's active notices page, checked against the list by matching each notice's exact model designation under the company it names. NIJ's own overview is at nij.ojp.gov.
