Dallas, Nov. 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- COPsync, Inc. (OTCQB: COYN), which operates the
nation's largest law enforcement real-time, in-car information
sharing, communication and data interoperability network and the
COPsync 911 threat alert service for schools, government
buildings, hospitals and other potentially at-risk targets,
announced that the New Hampshire State Police has become the first
state highway patrol to adopt the COPsync system.
The state's highway patrol has subscribed to use
the "responder" module of the COPsync system, which will enable the
agency's hundreds of patrol officers to respond to emergency alerts
from schools and other at-risk facilities equipped with the
company's COPsync911 threat alert system. The officers will also
see law enforcement "be on the lookout/attempt to locate" bulletins
pertaining to dangerous persons and criminal incidents created by
the thousands of other patrol officers across the U.S. who are
using the COPsync technology to distribute such information.
"With this decision, the New Hampshire State
Police becomes the first U.S. state highway patrol to join the
COPsync information sharing, communication and data
interoperability Network," said Ronald A. Woessner, the company's
chief executive officer. He continued, "This decision is a
particularly meaningful event for us at COPsync. The company's
co-founders, who are Texas law enforcement officers, developed the
COPsync Network in response to the fatal shooting of a Texas
Department of Public Safety state highway patrol officer during a
so-called "routine" traffic stop. The trooper's tragic shooting was
directly attributable to law enforcement agencies not having an
interoperability technology such as the COPsync Network to enable
cross-jurisdictional, real-time communication of mission-critical
information. We are grateful to New Hampshire Governor Maggie
Hassan and New Hampshire law enforcement leaders for recognizing
the COPsync system's value in promoting both officer and school
safety and, consequently, adopting the system statewide."
As announced by Governor Hassan in September,
the State of New Hampshire launched a new statewide school safety
initiative to deploy the company's COPsync911 threat alert system
to schools and law enforcement officers throughout the State of New
Hampshire. The service is expected to reduce response times in an
emergency by sending an alert to the law enforcement officers
closest to the facility under threat, directly to them in their
patrol units and directly to the local dispatch center.
"The company hopes to replicate this New
Hampshire state-wide deployment in other states and will use this
success as a springboard for national expansion across the U.S.,"
said Mr. Woessner. He added, "Our current customer base, mainly in
Texas, of approximately 1,100 customers is producing an
ever-increasing stream of subscription-based revenue
year-after-year, while constituting only a minuscule percentage of
the available U.S. law enforcement and school markets. We now
plan to expand our subscription-based revenue stream through our
direct sales efforts and through our indirect sales channels by
signing customers throughout the U.S. Key target expansion
geographies include states contiguous to Texas, the Northeast and
other large population centers."
