DALLAS, May 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- COPsync, Inc.
(NASDAQ: COYN), which operates the COPsync Network™, the nation's only system designed to connect law enforcement officers and
agencies nationwide, even those thousands of miles apart, to effectively communicate in real-time, and the COPsync911™
threat-alert service for schools, government buildings, hospitals and other potentially at-risk facilities, and the Blue Alert
Foundation, developer of the National Blue Alert system, announced an enhanced collaborative effort to promote officer
safety.
The National Blue Alert System is intended to be a nationwide notification system reporting assaults on police officers,
officers who are missing in the line of duty and credible threats against law enforcement. At this time, there are Blue Alert
programs in only 26 states. To help enhance law enforcement officer safety, the Blue Alert Foundation and COPsync are teaming up
to supplement the existing Blue Alert systems by providing officer safety alerts in addition to or where there is no Blue Alert
system coverage. To this end, future officer safety alerts will be sent through the COPsync system to the thousands of officers
using the COPsync real-time information system – directly to them in their patrol cars or to their mobile devices using the
COPsync system.
"Our organization is all about communication for the safety of law enforcement personnel, and COPsync represents a perfect way
for us to expand the reach of our officer safety communications," commented Tom Berry, Executive
Director and Founder of the National Blue Alert Foundation. "We see progress in states adopting Blue Alert systems, but we need
to make every effort to speed up the notification process and use real-time communication in these situations where every second
counts. We at the Blue Alert Foundation may obtain information prior to it appearing on the Blue Alert System. By disseminating
this information through the COPsync Network, we save valuable time in notifying the officer of the threat. Since the beginning
of January 2016, there have been 38 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, and we
need to use every means available to us to potentially prevent future tragedies from occurring."
"With this supplement to a Blue Alert notification, the thousands of law enforcement officers using the COPsync system will
receive the alerts directly in their patrol cars or to their mobile devices," said Ronald A.
Woessner, CEO of COPsync. "Moreover, these alerts can also include a photograph of the persons posing the threat to law
enforcement. Many officers are killed or injured by persons that are known threats to law enforcement, and we are honored to have
the opportunity to help keep our law enforcement officers safer."
