| Source: Law Enforcement Associates
RALEIGH, NC--(Marketwire - February 16, 2010) - Law Enforcement Associates Corporation (LEA)
(OTCBB : LAWE ), a leading U.S.-based developer and manufacturer of
electronic surveillance equipment, today announced it has received an
initial order for products from its recently introduced PDT Digital Audio
line. The order, which was placed by a local law enforcement agency in the
Midwest, is for digital transmitters and receivers for use with undercover
body wires. The specific customer and value of the order was not
disclosed.
"We are encouraged by the early interest this new product suite is
generating from a broad cross section of customers," said Paul Briggs,
president and CEO. "Our digital audio line offers significant advantages
over older analog-based technology that predominates throughout the U.S.
law enforcement community. We expect significant demand could come from
both existing customers seeking to upgrade their current surveillance
tools, as well as various federal law enforcement agencies that work
exclusively with digital equipment."
Jay Becker, LEA's sales manager, said, "In addition to the technological
advantages of our PDT line, we have entered the market at a very
competitive price point and our product offering is manufactured entirely
in the United States. We believe we have a distinct competitive advantage
over offshore manufacturers."
LEA intends to begin product shipments from the new line once final product
certification has been received from the Federal Communications Commission.
Management expects to receive FCC certification in the near future.
Becker said the Company's new digital audio line and a vast array of
related undercover surveillance devices will be prominently featured in the
Company's forthcoming 2010 product catalog, which will be shipped to
customers in the coming weeks.
