Dallas, May 19, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ronald A. Woessner, chief executive officer of
COPsync, Inc. (OTCQB: COYN), was interviewed by Popular Science
Radio on April 18 and Senior Voice America Radio on April 28. The
company's signature COPsync Network connects law enforcement
officers and agencies from different jurisdictions to a common
communications system. This enables them to communicate between and
among themselves as if they were one agency. Also, the company's
complementary COPsync911 threat alert system links schools and
other facilities under threat directly to local patrol units and
local dispatch operators.
In both interviews, Mr. Woessner describes
serious gaps in law enforcement's capability to interdict crimes in
progress, identify and locate wanted persons and terrorists, and
protect themselves from being killed or injured by known criminals.
These gaps result from the "information silos" currently the norm
among U.S. law enforcement agencies -- and create the result that
patrol officers have no meaningful ability to share or communicate
in real-time or near real-time with patrol officers and dispatchers
from other law enforcement agencies. This creates
opportunities for criminals and terrorists to escape detection by
moving from one city or county to another.
Mr. Woessner explains how the hundreds of patrol
officers, dispatch centers, and courts currently using the COPsync
communications network are able to communicate between and among
themselves as if they were one law enforcement agency. This
real-time communication and information sharing results in the
thwarting of crimes in progress, criminals and terrorists being
apprehended and fewer officer deaths and injuries - which means
more officers go home safely to their families at end of shift.
Also, as discussed in the Popular Science Radio interview, the
Company's COPsync911 threat alert system is designed for schools,
courthouses, hospitals, energy plants and other high-risk
facilities. The system connects persons under threat to the closest
patrol officers, directly in their patrol units, and the local
dispatch center. The system, currently being used by hundreds
of schools and other facilities in Texas, Louisiana, Massachusetts
and New Hampshire, provides first responders a real-time direct
communication link to the persons under threat. This communication
link provides responding officers access to maps showing the
facility's location, "up to the second" situational insight as to
the unfolding violence, facility floor plan diagrams, and a
streaming video view originating from the cameras inside the
facility. These features serve the purpose of saving minutes in
those violent situations, when even seconds count.
