CANYON LAKE, Texas, Aug. 26, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- COPsync, Inc. (OTCBB:COYN), a software technology provider to law enforcement and emergency service professionals, is pleased to announce that the Company has recruited Randall "Randy" Comer to lead the Company's overall sales and marketing efforts. The addition of Mr. Comer 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 mobile data collection and information sharing software solution.
Prior to joining COPsync, Mr. Comer served as Vice President of Sales at WatchGuard Video, a leading manufacturer of innovative law enforcement mobile technology solutions. At WatchGuard he was instrumental in taking the company from business-plan inception to the leading in-car Dash Cam video provider in sales in just over four years. Prior to WatchGuard, Mr. Comer was Director of Sales for Micropac Industries, a micro component manufacturer in the Space and Defense sector. Additionally, during his tenure with ITT Night Vision, Randy procured a number of large night vision contracts exceeding $100 million with the U.S. Military. Randy was the first to bring night vision technology to the Law Enforcement profession recognizing this market's need for safety and innovation.
"I joined COPsync recognizing that they have brought an innovative and creative solution to the Law Enforcement market. In my initial meeting with COPsync, my Law Enforcement Technology experience made it easy for me to recognize that COPsync had developed a unique technology to provide real-time information sharing that maximizes officer safety directly in the field. My history and experience further allowed me to easily recognize that this technology filled gaps that are missing for the officer on the street. This opportunity will allow me, for the first time in my career, to truly make a difference in the lives of the average citizen. There was actually no decision easier for me to make. There has never been a product like COPsync that is completely and solely focused on the officer in the vehicle, and as a result this will be an easy product to market. My goal today is to start the process of looking for the right individuals to retain in key markets to take COPsync nationwide. It is amazing to me that COPsync, without one single employee dedicated to sales, has not only touched but received contractual obligations from 256 Law Enforcement Agencies and has a back-log of business exceeding 10 million dollars."
"Randy joins the COPsync team with over 30 years of experience managing sales and marketing, engineering and program management operations for such prestigious organizations as WatchGuard, Litton, ITT, L-3 and Corning," commented COPsync CEO, Russell Chaney. "His in-depth experience in the law enforcement arena, including his expertise in Strategy Development and Business Process Engineering provide a much needed niche in our organization. Also, in addition to his deep seeded relationships within the nation's Law Enforcement community, Mr. Comer has already been instrumental in our ongoing discussion with national and multinational technology resellers which are anticipated to materialize in the coming quarters."
