COPsync Signs Evaluation Agreement with Mississippi Department of Public Safety

COPsync, Inc. (OTCQB: COYN), which operates the nation’s largest law enforcement real-time, in-field information sharing, communication and data interoperability network, announced that the Mississippi Department of Public Safety has agreed to conduct a formal evaluation of the COPsync service.

The company said that the Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS) has agreed to conduct a pilot project to evaluate COPsync’s law enforcement real-time, in-field information sharing, communication and data interoperability network. The evaluation of COPsync will be conducted by the Department of Special Operations, a unit within the Mississippi Highway Patrol that specializes in criminal interdiction on the highways, and is expected to last 60 - 120 days.

"Mississippi highway patrol officers will now have the ability to share information and communicate with fellow officers in real-time at the point of incident,” said COPsync co-founder Shane Rapp. Mr. Rapp continued, "For the first time in U.S. law enforcement history, officers of a state highway patrol will be able to communicate with and share data in real-time across interstate lines and with local law enforcement agencies. Mississippi officers will now have a real-time connection among themselves and to officers of the nearly 220 Texas law enforcement agencies comprising the COPsync network. We are proud that the Mississippi Highway Patrol will be the country’s first state highway patrol to evaluate COPsync’s innovative capabilities.”

"The Mississippi Highway Patrol is very excited to begin evaluating the COPsync real-time, in-field information sharing and communication system,” stated Staff Sergeant Brad Vincent of the Mississippi Highway Patrol’s Special Operations Unit. He continued, "We in Mississippi are extremely interested in participating in the COPsync network and sharing information and communicating in real-time with our Texas brethren, particularly since Interstate 20 connecting our two states is a major trafficking corridor. We expect this evaluation project to demonstrate the benefit to law enforcement officers of communicating and sharing information in real-time, at the point of incident. Our department has been on the forefront of innovation and advancement within the law enforcement profession. This pilot project once again demonstrates our commitment to finding and deploying proactive solutions to combat crime and interdict criminal behavior.”

A company spokesperson said the evaluation is expected to begin following the completion of certification testing with the Mississippi Criminal History telecommunications system. The pilot project is expected to demonstrate the feasibility of real-time, multi-jurisdictional and interstate information sharing and communication and to result in increased officer efficiency.
