DALLAS, Nov. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- COPsync, Inc.
(NASDAQ: COYN) announced today that 134 of the 254 Texas
sheriff's offices, more than a majority, are now using the COPsync
Network™ to stop crime and criminal activity and keep their
deputies safe. The COPsync Network is an advanced communication and
information sharing system that protects citizens from violence and
domestic terrorism. Community and officer security is increased
with advance warnings of dangerous people, real-time notification
of crimes in progress, and the COPsync911™ threat-alert system to
safeguard schools and keep America's children safer and protect
other high-risk targets such as courthouses, government buildings
and energy infrastructure. COPsync's systems can save minutes when
seconds count, save lives and protect citizens and
communities.
Approximately 20 new Texas
sheriff's offices have been signed to the COPsync Network in 2016,
bringing the current total number of sheriff's offices on the
Network to 134. COPsync relentlessly continues to expand its
footprint in Texas with 80% of its
254 counties having a COPsync customer presence and 53% of the 254
Texas sheriff's offices now subscribed to the Network. The
Bexar County Sheriff's Office and
the San Antonio Police Department,
located in Bexar County, are
currently conducting an evaluation of the COPsync Network. The
Company believes that signing one or more major Texas law enforcement agencies, such as the
Bexar County Sheriff's Office or
the San Antonio Police Department,
to the COPsync Network sooner or later will create a 'tipping
point' effect in Texas.
The Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) in Houston, TX is also currently conducting an
evaluation of the COPsync911 threat-alert system to increase the
safety and security of its campuses, students and faculty. The HCDE
is an important entry point for COPsync technology into the
Houston metro area where there are
more than 100 law enforcement agencies and approximately 60 school
districts that could become potential customers.
COPsync CEO Ronald A. Woessner
stated, "In Texas, the Office of Sheriff is one of the oldest
offices known to Texas
jurisprudence. Each of the 254 Texas Counties has a sheriff.
COPsync is proud to serve 53% of the Texas sheriff's offices with the COPsync
Network. Texas is home to
approximately 8% of all state and local U.S. law enforcement
officers, and we believe that the momentum of the Texas sheriff offices could help bring the
bulk of the estimated 100,000 Texas law enforcement officers on to the
Network. We anticipate adding even more Texas sheriff's offices to the Network before
the end of the year."
