CANYON LAKE, Texas, Feb. 11, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- COPsync, Inc. (OTCBB:COYN), a software technology provider to law enforcement and emergency service professionals, has formally positioned itself in the marketplace as a vendor neutral solution provider to existing law enforcement technology providers. COPsync's overlay software provides a universal, non-proprietary, officer developed mobile data collection and information sharing solution. "Simply put, a Law Enforcement Agency launching COPsync technology to its officers will not need to change any existing technologies currently being used by the Agency," states COPsync President, Shane Rapp.
COPsync (tm) exceeds the Federal Guidelines for information sharing as set forth after 9/11 by the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. "Our solution offers existing software providers and the law enforcement agencies they represent, a means of compliance to government information sharing mandates," continued, Shane Rapp.
COPsync(tm) was designed, from its inception, to be a neutral technology overlay structured to create information sharing without competitive resistance from those currently supplying a technology infrastructure to their respective law enforcement client. The Company elected to not offer Records Management (RMS), Jail Management (JMS), Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) or Court Technologies as a means of remaining neutral. By partnering with COPsync, solution providers can offer their existing clients a robust mobile data solution. COPsync(tm) has the ability to collect 100% of an officer's activity in an electronic format, regardless of their existing technology infrastructure, creating the ability to share this same data in real-time with all subscribing agencies.
According to Russell Chaney, COPsync Founder and CEO, "When we designed our software, our focus was to provide the most comprehensive data collection interface for the Law Enforcement mobile environment while maintaining a neutral position with the client agencies' current technology infrastructure. After six years of development, we have launched an efficient, real-time information sharing portal which can be easily integrated into existing technology infrastructures. As a law enforcement officer myself, I believe each of us has a responsibility to improve the safety and efficiency of all law enforcement officers. A responsible and effective way to accomplish this goal is through the implementation of COPsync(tm), a mobile nationwide information sharing solution that provides data to the officer, real-time at the point of incident."
"Our former business www.CARad.com, which we successfully sold to eBay, Inc. (Nasdaq:EBAY), was based around interfaces between technologies housed in the Automobile Dealership and online portals such as eBay. This technology background and our extensive Law Enforcement background clearly gave us the distinct advantage to create the right solution to serve as the neutral vendor to create Law Enforcement information sharing. Seeing 124 Law Enforcement Agencies in such a short time agree to go on the system with no employees dedicated to sales and marketing, clearly speaks for the demand and viability of the technology," states Russell Chaney.
Additionally, the Company re-launched its corporate website in an effort to educate current law enforcement providers about COPsync's(tm) benefits and features. Interested parties are encouraged to sign up to receive a free demonstration at www.copsync.com.
