COPsync Announces Starr County Joins COPsync Network

Majority of Texas Border Counties Now Using COPsync System to Protect U.S. - Mexico Border


Dallas, Texas, Aug. 20, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- COPsync, Inc. (OTCQB: COYN), which operates the nation's largest law enforcement real-time, in-car information sharing, communication and data interoperability network, announced that the Starr County, Texas Sheriff's Office has become the newest sheriff's office along the Texas-Mexico border to join the COPsync information sharing network.

According to Patrick Hawthorne, COPsync regional sales manager for South Texas and former police chief, "The Starr County Sheriff's Office joins the hundreds of other Texas law enforcement agencies on the COPsync network. Starr County deputies can now run TCIC and NCIC queries in their vehicles. They can also access El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) border crossing information and create offense, incident, crash, citation and field contact reports, share these reports with other agencies and access the reports created by other agencies -- all in real-time. A majority of the sheriff's offices along the Texas-Mexico border are now using the COPsync system.  These border agencies have created an interlinked and interconnected virtual electronic barrier of law enforcement that is collaborating to guard the U.S. - Mexico border."  

 "The Starr County Sheriff's Office is delighted to join the COPsync network," said Starr County Sheriff Rene Fuentes.  He continued, "The Starr County SO is now at the forefront of law enforcement agencies that are using innovative technologies to detect and interdict drug smuggling, human trafficking and other illegal activity along the U.S. - Mexico border.  Our deputies are now also protected by COPsync's electronic alerts that are instantaneously transmitted to summon help and advise other officers of dangerous persons and situations.  The COPsync system also can be used to create 'attempt to locate,' 'be on the lookout,' and intelligence bulletins.  These electronic tools will help the Sheriff's Office protect and serve Starr County citizens.  I encourage the remaining Texas border counties to join the COPsync network as soon as possible."
