GlobeNewswire
2010-03-10


CANYON LAKE, Texas, March 10, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- COPsync, Inc.
(OTCBB:COYN), a software technology provider to law enforcement and
emergency service professionals, announces today that six new law
agencies in the State of Texas were awarded federal funding to
implement the COPsync(TM) information sharing technology.

The funding for the installation of the company's in-car information
sharing software was provided under the Recovery Act - Edward Byrne
Memorial Justice Assistance Grant. The installation of the COPsync
software in the Coke, Schleicher, Kimble and Mason Counties Sheriff's
Offices and the Sonora and Seymour Police Departments will bring these
agencies into compliance with federal mandates established by the U.S.
Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security with
respect to interoperability and information sharing requirements, as
well as provide them with critical historical and real-time crime data
as it is reported and stored on the COPsync network.

COPsync, Inc. CEO, Russell Chaney, said, "The award of this funding to
implement our software at these Texas law enforcement agencies further
reinforces the value of COPsync within the law enforcement community.
We are pleased that federal and state governments see the critical need
of our real-time data sharing and collection software solution. Their
proactive stance on technology advancement in law enforcement is vital
in creating our vision of a nationwide information sharing network in
the future."

COPsync's focus is to provide a universal mobile data collection user
interface to standardize information collection, while concurrently
providing real-time information sharing, at the point of incident to
all law enforcement agencies. The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice
Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, through the U.S. Department of Justice
Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance, is the
primary provider of federal criminal justice funding to state and local
jurisdictions. JAG funds support all components of the criminal justice
system, from multijurisdictional drug and gang task forces to crime
prevention and domestic violence programs, courts, corrections,
treatment, and justice information sharing initiatives. JAG-funded
projects may address crime through the provision of services directly
to individuals and/or communities and by improving the effectiveness
and efficiency of criminal justice systems, processes, and procedures.
These funds are administered by the Criminal Justice Division (CJD) of
the Office of the Governor of Texas based upon competitive scoring by
the relevant Council of Governments (COG). These agencies participated
in the competitive grant application process under which their
applications were scored by the Criminal Justice Advisory Committee of
the Concho Valley Council of Governments.
