FOR: ICOP DIGITAL, INC.
Re-Order Funded Through Federal Grants
LENEXA, KS--(Marketwire - October 21, 2009) - ICOP Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: ICOP), an
industry-leading company engaged in advancing digital surveillance
technology solutions, today announced the receipt of a $244,000 order for
46 ICOP 20/20 VISION™ systems; 40 units will go to the Billings Police
Department and 6 units to the Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office.
The ICOP 20/20 VISION is an in-car video solution that provides full,
independent control of the DVR through an officer's Mobile Data Terminal
(MDT). This system leverages all the features and benefits of the
award-winning ICOP Model 20/20®-W that have defined ICOP as an industry
leader in high-quality video evidence.
Marking the largest deployment of the ICOP 20/20 VISION system to date, the
agency will deploy the additional 40 units with the goal of converting
their existing ICOP Model 20/20®-W units to VISION over time. The systems
were purchased using federal grant money made available to the agency
through the Stimulus Funds.
For Billings, winter temperatures can be well below zero, with the average
record low of -38°F. Successful installations such as this prove the
outstanding performance of the ICOP products in cold climates.
"This project of switching 80 systems from analog to digital was no small
undertaking. We were fortunate to have the support of our Montana
Congressman and Senators," said Captain John Bedford of the Billings Police
Department. "The top reasons for going with the ICOP system include the
outstanding quality of the video, as compared to the old VHS systems, the
security of having all our data stored in a central database and the
ability with the ICOP solution to do pre-event recording," he stated.
"With litigation clogging the court system and using up valuable resources,
the new system has very effectively helped to diffuse not guilty pleas and
cut down on court time," said Bedford. "Combined with the outstanding
support we receive from ICOP this provides us with a very effective tool
for our agency."
With an estimated 103,994 population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau,
Billings operates the largest city police force in Montana, with 143 sworn
officers and nine police beats. The officers patrol within the city limits
which is approximately 41 square miles (urban with some rural). The
Billings Police Department utilizes a central dispatch for police, fire,
sheriff, and ambulance.
