(OTCBB:COYN), a software technology provider to law enforcement and emergency service professionals, is pleased to announce that the Company has begun the build out of a nationwide sales force with the addition of three senior industry sales executives. The addition of Richard O’Connor, Steve Roberts and Shaun Mitchell is part of a larger effort by COPsync to retain key industry leaders to assist the Company in rapidly expanding its existing customer base and increase the number of law enforcement officers currently utilizing its robust in-car law enforcement data collection and information sharing software.

Richard O’Connor joins COPsync as a Regional Sales Manager.

Worth). Additionally, while at General Dynamics, Richard secured major accounts for public safety in the Western USA, including Denver PD, Denver Fire, San Francisco’s DPT, Sacramento PD, Spokane PD/Spokane County Sheriff’s Office and the Washington State Patrol.

“In my professional opinion there has never been a product that can leverage technology to provide this level of vendor agnostic interoperability, added officer safety and significant increases in efficiency. I look forward to sharing the COPsync story and the enhancements to Public Safety that their software provides,” stated Richard O’Connor.

Steve Roberts joins COPsync as a Regional Sales Manager. Prior to joining COPsync, he was the National Sales Manager for a manufacturer of firearms training systems with annual sales revenues of $15 million to the law enforcement and military defense markets. Steve is a graduate of Marion Military Institute (AA - Military Science), Sam Houston State University, and Texas A&M police academy.  Steve is a veteran law enforcement officer.

"COPsync will not only make an officer more effective and efficient, it will provide him or her with a safety net that was not available while I was patrolling the streets," commented Steve Roberts."There is no other product like this in the marketplace and I firmly believe that once exposed to COPsync, every officer and agency will want it. In my opinion, it's not a question of if an agency will join the COPsync network, but rather the question of when." 

Shaun Mitchell joins COPsync as a Regional Sales Manager. Prior to joining COPsync, Mr. Mitchell was an Account Executive with The Cobalt Group / GM Digital Marketing, North America's leading provider of automotive internet marketing services.  A few of his accomplishments while at Cobalt include the Rock Star Award, which is awarded to people that fundamentally change the way Cobalt does business and Presidents Club.

According to COPsync Regional Account Manager, Shaun Mitchell, "I am excited to apply my sales background and computer technology experience with a company whose product is strong and growing.  This software technology provides protection not only to law enforcement, but to each person that lives in the communities that will use it.  I feel our community will be better protected with this technology installed in patrol vehicles."
