La Salle County, Texas Receives Federal COPS Grant to Implement COPsync

CANYON LAKE, Texas, Oct. 5, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- COPsync, Inc. (OTCBB:COYN),
a software technology provider to law enforcement and emergency service
professionals, is pleased to report that the La Salle County Sheriff's office
has entered into a contract with COPsync for the implementation and use of the
Company's real-time data collection and information sharing software in the
County's patrol vehicles. La Salle County received a grant to implement
COPsync(TM) under the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program which
awards grants to law enforcement agencies to hire and train community policing
professionals, acquire and deploy cutting-edge crime-fighting technologies, and
develop and test innovative policing strategies. Since 1994, the COPS Office has
invested more than $12 billion to add community policing officers, enhance crime
fighting technology and support crime prevention initiatives.

Sheriff Victor S. Villarreal of La Salle County commented, "With the assistance
of COPsync, Inc., our agency has been awarded a $75,000 grant under the U.S.
Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services for
implementation of the COPsync(TM) system. Rural areas, such as La Salle County,
have traditionally trailed far behind in this area of technology due to lack of
funds. Our limited technology infrastructure will soon be a thing of the past.
COPsync(TM) will provide our officers unprecedented levels of safety and
efficiency. Communication, dissemination of information, and statistical
analysis will all improve with COPsync(TM)."

La Salle County is in the Southwest Border HIDTA (High Intensity Drug
Trafficking Area). The HIDTA Program helps improve the effectiveness and
efficiency of drug control efforts by facilitating cooperation between drug
control organizations through resource and information sharing, collocating and
implementing joint initiatives. The counties in the Southwest Border HIDTA are
Bexar, Cameron, Dimmit, Hidalgo, Jim Hogg, Kinney, La Salle, Starr, Maverick,
Val Verde, Webb, Willacy, Zapata, and Zavala counties. Interstate Highway 35 has
been declared a major narcotics and human smuggling route into the United
States. It is the primary north-south route that affects drug transportation
from the Southwest Border HIDTA into the North Texas HIDTA. Law enforcement
agencies on these routes would benefit greatly from the COPsync platform which
would enable these agencies to work together to curtail narcotics and human
smuggling activities.

Additionally, La Salle County is contiguous to Webb and McMullen Counties. Webb
and McMullen counties are both utilizing COPsync and both participated in
Operation Border Star, the program initiated by the Governor's Office to curtail
illegal immigration and the crime associated with it. To date COPsync has
successfully assisted its clients in applying for over ten million dollars in
Federal and State Grant Funds specifically written to fund the implementation of
the COPsync technology. "We are committed to aggressively pursuing funding
opportunities for our law enforcement clients and are very optimistic of the
grants pending approval by the various Grant Authorities. Our technology meets
or exceeds most of the objectives outlined in these grants and, based on this, I
believe that we are in a position to see a high number of these Grants
successfully approved," stated Shane Rapp, President of COPsync, Inc.
