CANYON LAKE, Texas, Jan. 12, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- COPsync, Inc. (OTCBB:COYN), a software technology provider to law enforcement and emergency service professionals, announced today that it has entered into a partnership agreement with the Law Enforcement Analysis Portal (LEAP), which is a project of NCTCOG Criminal Justice Program.
The partnership brings immediate benefits to both organizations. LEAP gains access to data via COPsync's database and the software's real-time data collection records including citations, offense reports, incident reports, GPS coordinates associated with Law Enforcement activities, and numerous additional law enforcement data components. The Law Enforcement Analysis Portal will provide COPsync users enhanced features including access to national databases such as ONEDOJ, ICEPIC and data housed in local records management systems. Additionally, LEAP will now provide access to all of its analysis tools to the officer in the field via COPsync's mobile in-car user interface.
"This partnership is a strategic alliance which presents endless possibilities. LEAP and COPsync are equally passionate about nationwide information sharing and officer safety and both are committed to work diligently with their existing customer base to ensure a combined product offering is implemented. LEAP will provide COPsync subscribers access to a vast amount of Law Enforcement data collected by non-COPsync subscribing agencies," states Shane Rapp, President of COPsync, Inc. "Additionally, LEAP will provide COPsync with software interface assistance that will enhance our ability to rapidly implement new agencies."
"COPsync brings real-time information sharing to the Law Enforcement community. This alliance with LEAP further enhances our capabilities by establishing link relationships between individuals, locations, and properties," states Randy Comer, EVP of Sales and Marketing for COPsync. "The COPsync-LEAP product will assist local law enforcement agencies by implementing a multi-jurisdictional shared information program designed to improve crime and link analysis, case closures and ultimately a reduction in crime rates."
Commenting on our strategic partnership, Randy Hunt, LEAP Program Manager for NCTCOG, states, "The LEAP connection creates a geospatial link chart, thereby assisting investigators in connecting-the-dots with suspect links. The COPsync-LEAP offering will enable users to secure key cross-jurisdictional information about a vehicle, plate, or location, when those elements have been involved in weapons, assaultive, drug or gang activity."
