| Source: Law Enforcement Associates
RALEIGH, NC--(Marketwire - April 13, 2009) - Law Enforcement Associates Corporation (LEA)
(OTCBB : LAWE ), the largest U.S.-based developer and manufacturer of
undercover surveillance equipment, today announced that the U.S. Navy has
placed an order for multiple Under-Vehicle Inspection Systems (UVIS). The
systems will be incorporated into the security infrastructure of a major
domestic military base. Due to the nature of the customer and its use of
the products, additional information about the order was not provided.
The UVIS is a sophisticated surveillance tool that utilizes high-resolution
cameras encased within a ground-based ramp system. As vehicles pass over
the ramp, real-time video imagery of the car's undercarriage is transmitted
to a nearby video screen, which is monitored by specially trained security
personnel.
Paul Feldman, president of LEA, said, "Our traditional UVIS and portable
UVIS Swift product lines continue to generate significant interest from
both domestic and international customers. We currently are pursuing
several other UVIS order opportunities, and also are seeing increased
quoting activity and order volume across most of our other surveillance
product lines."
