BAY CITY, Mich./Toronto, Oct. 15, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Ugomedia Interactive Corp. (name change to Sciax Corporation pending) (OTCBB:UGMI) is pleased to announce that the Company will be featured on the cover of Canadian Security's October 2003 issue.
When lives are at risk in the world of high crime, sometimes the best solution is an extra set of "eyes." That's just what Sciax Technology's SeCam has been offering counter-terrorism, law enforcement, defense and other security users around the globe -- and now Canadian Security readers across Canada know all about it.
"When I first heard about the product and its applications, I was really interested in finding out more," says Stacey Hunt, editorial director for the security group at CLB Media Inc. "Add to that the fact that Canada Customs, Toronto Police Service and Halton Regional Police in Ontario are among those taking advantage of this innovative tool, and I knew we just had to cover the story."
Entitled "Extended Eyesight," the feature made the cover of Canadian Security's October 2003 issue, which is set to hit readers' desks this week. The story highlights the real-life tales of some law enforcement professionals whose lives have been saved - and are being saved - as a direct result of having the SeCam system on hand. It also looks more specifically at how Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) is better securing the border with SeCam units, as well as the role a senior program officer at CCRA played in initiating the development of this unique tool.
"Our customs officers use SeCam under all weather conditions heat and cold don't affect its performance," remarks Andre Cote, senior program officer of the Contraband Detection Section at the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, in the article. "Its primary value is that we don't need to poke our head or hands into potentially dangerous places that could set off a bomb. In my opinion, the SeCam is a life-saving tool."
