Two-Week Sales Training Program Highlighted by Comments from Lou
Anemone, Former NYPD Chief, in Presentation Entitled, 'In-Car Video
as a Counter-Terror Tool' LENEXA, Kan., Jan. 23
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ICOP Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ:ICOP)
(PCX:ICOP), a leading provider of digital in-car video systems for
law enforcement, today announced that the Company achieved its
initial direct sales team expansion goal, bringing its national
sales force to 12 and satisfying a critical corporate objective
associated with the Company's stated growth strategy. Comprised of
a national sales manager, seven outside regional sales executives
and four inside sales representatives managing lead qualification
and sales support, ICOP's direct sales team was recently joined by
many of the Company's international reselling partners and members
of its "Officers Sales Team," for an in-depth, two-week sales and
marketing training program focused on ICOP's 2006 global sales
growth objectives. The training program was highlighted by a
compelling and insightful presentation by Lou Anemone, former NYPD
Chief and recently appointed ICOP Advisory Board member. In a
discussion regarding the use of in-car video as a counter-terror
tool, Chief Anemone noted, "Safety from terrorist attacks is a
nationwide priority, and our personal physical safety is largely
dependent on local law enforcement efforts. However, success in the
counter-terror field will only be achieved by having accurate and
timely intelligence that is clearly communicated to all concerned;
rapid deployment of coordinated forces; the use of effective
tactics that are both legal and moral; and relentless assessment
and follow-up of all efforts. The approximate 700,000 law
enforcement officers in the U.S. dwarf the size of the FBI and
other Justice and Homeland Security departments, and, therefore,
can play a vital role in the war on terror." Continuing, Chief
Anemone stated, "With police cars or other city vehicles equipped
with ICOP's state-of-the-art digital in-car video systems, they can
be coordinated to document prevailing conditions at critical
infrastructure locations, confirm the presence or absence of
alleged intruders at specific sites, monitor and capture human
traffic and activity in the vicinity of sensitive government
facilities, and surveil large public gatherings, among other
possible scenarios. These secure digital records, providing
incontrovertible digital data, can then be reviewed and archived,
as necessary, by federal officials or field assessment teams to
identify potential security threats before, during and after
attacks." "As Lou's comments support, use of ICOP Model 20/20(TM)
not only serves as an important tool for law enforcement in the
traditional sense of maintaining law and order, but can and should
be used to extend and enhance local law enforcement's assets and
their impact on homeland defense and security," added Dave Owen,
Chief Executive Officer of ICOP. About ICOP Digital, Inc. ICOP
