DALLAS, March 08, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- COPsync, Inc.

The Marion Police Department, located outside of San Antonio in Guadalupe County, Texas, joins a growing number of agencies in Guadalupe County sharing law enforcement information in real-time using the COPsync Network™. Precinct 3 Constable Michael Skrobarcek used seizure funds to purchase COPsync for the City of Marion. Police Chief Donald Crane said, “We are excited to join the COPsync Network. COPsync is about sharing information for all officers and keeping our communities safer. Constable Skrobarcek understands this, and he decided to be the leader in our area to increase our ability to make a difference together.”
The COPsync Network connects law enforcement officers and agencies to a common data communications system, which gives officers instant access to actionable, mission-critical data and enables them to share information and communicate in real-time with other officers and agencies, even those hundreds and thousands of miles away.
“With the adoption of the COPsync Network by the Marion Police Department, the citizens of Marion and Guadalupe County are protected by 21st-century technologies that arm law enforcement officers with information that helps keep officers safer and helps them interdict crime and criminals more effectively,” said Ronald A. Woessner, CEO of COPsync. “We are also pleased that long-time COPsync subscriber and supporter Constable Michael Skrobarcek used seizure funds to purchase COPsync for the City of Marion.”
