COPsync to Pursue FirstNet Contract Opportunities

DALLAS, Nov. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- COPsync, Inc. (NASDAQ: COYN), announced today it is actively working in Washington, DC to find an opportunity to participate in the contracts anticipated to result from the federal initiative known as the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) wireless broadband first responder network. COPsync has developed the COPsync Network™, a real-time communications and information sharing system for first responder law enforcement officers. Local and national security is increased by providing law enforcement officers advance warnings of dangerous people and situations and real-time notification of crimes in progress.

During the horrific September 11, 2001, terrorist attack in New York City, more than 400 first responders were killed. Congress determined one of the contributing factors to be communications failures that led to many first responders not receiving orders to evacuate the World Trade Center before it collapsed.

Congress subsequently in 2012 authorized the creation of the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) and directed it to create a nationwide interoperable wireless broadband network for first responders and public safety. Congress also authorized $7 billion in federal spending for the network. A request for proposals (RFP) was subsequently issued, and FirstNet CEO Mike Poth recently announced that the FirstNet Authority is continuing to evaluate the RFP responses, and a contract award announcement is expected soon.

COPsync CEO Ronald A. Woessner stated, "Once the RFP general contract winner is announced, COPsync seeks to become an approved subcontractor to assist the general contractor in cost-effectively executing its responsibilities under the resultant FirstNet contract. The COPsync Network, already being used by thousands of first responder law enforcement officers in nearly 20 states across the US, has the capability to scale nationwide and cost-effectively at a vigorous pace. The system provides law enforcement officers the ability to communicate across jurisdictional boundaries and in real-time -- in fulfillment of one of the purposes of the FirstNet Authority. Participating in this federal initiative could hasten the deployment of the COPsync Network across the US, potentially resulting for our shareholders in the single most significant company achievement to-date."
