Tim Pearce Biography

Tim Pearce is the founder and CEO of AUFIRE (Accuracy Under Fire), a company specializing in advanced tactical training solutions for law enforcement and military personnel. Drawing on nearly two decades as a Los Angeles Police Department gang officer and detective in some of the city’s most challenging neighborhoods, Pearce leveraged his frontline experience to develop training technologies that simulate the intense physical and mental stress of real-world combat scenarios. His flagship invention, a gunshot wound simulator using wearable neuromuscular stimulation, was inspired by a personal tragedy—his wife and former patrol partner, Kristina Ripatti, was shot and paralyzed in the line of duty. This event galvanized Pearce’s commitment to improving officer survival and resilience through realistic, stress-inoculating training systems.

Pearce’s expertise has positioned AUFIRE as a standard in tactical simulation, with its systems adopted by law enforcement agencies, SWAT teams, and military units across the country. He has also developed a suite of other safety innovations, including an auto-activation gun holster for body cameras, an unpickable handcuff, and specialized gear for officer safety. Pearce is a public speaker and subject matter expert, regularly appearing at major industry conferences such as SHOT Show and on platforms like the Adam Carolla Podcast and The Tactical Breakdown Podcast, where he shares insights on training, technology, and officer wellness.

Beyond product development, Pearce is recognized for his contributions to public safety education and his advocacy for mental health and crisis response among first responders. His work has been featured in documentaries and media projects highlighting community transformation and law enforcement innovation, where he often serves as both a behind-the-scenes advisor and on-camera expert. Pearce’s journey from frontline policing to entrepreneurial leadership underscores his dedication to advancing the capabilities of those who serve on the front lines.
