Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICOP; NYSE Arca: ICOP), a leading provider
of digital in-car video systems for law enforcement, today
announced the expansion of its national sales leadership team with
the appointment of John Stransky as Director of National Sales,
replacing Kevin McDugle, who has been promoted to lead the
Company's new military sales division as Director of Military
Sales. "ICOP has achieved extraordinary success in its early
efforts to penetrate the law enforcement market with customers in
43 states, to date. This success is due largely to the sales and
marketing leadership of Kevin McDugle. In his new capacity as
Director of our newly formed Military Sales division, we have great
confidence that he will prove highly effective in helping ICOP to
accelerate its plan to win preferred solutions provider status
within the Military and homeland security sectors," stated Dave
Owen, Chief Executive Officer of ICOP. "Kevin's technical
background in software and hardware, coupled with his decorated
Military experience, gives him an invaluable insight into the
importance of providing leading edge technology solutions which
mitigate the dangers our troops face in their service to our
Country in Iraq and other hot zones. In this regard, ICOP is
committed to helping meet this challenge through the delivery of
our mobile surveillance solutions." Prior to joining ICOP, McDugle
managed leading sales teams marketing technology products to
Fortune 500 companies for over a decade. For eight years, he served
in the United States Marine Corps working primarily with
Anti-terrorist Special Forces teams based at Bangor, Washington
Naval Submarine Base. Earning Combat Action ribbons for campaigns
in Saudi Arabia, Bosnia and Somalia, McDugle also served as an
Airborne Forward Observer, Liaison to foreign military officers and
advisors and the 75th Ranger Battalion, and was a Marine Drill
Instructor at Parris Island, South Carolina. He is a Sworn Officer
with the Ottawa Kansas Police Department, where he currently serves
as a Reserve Officer. McDugle is a graduate of Southern Nazarene
University where he earned a BS degree in Business, and holds a
Masters degree in Business Administration from the University of
Phoenix. "John's law enforcement leadership experience, combined
with over a decade of solutions-based selling experience to local
governments -- including his success in developing two major
territories as a Regional Sales Manager at ICOP, makes him the
ideal choice to lead ICOP's national sales force into the future,"
added Owen. With more than 11 years experience as a commissioned
police officer and police dispatcher in St. Louis, Stransky has a
unique understanding of the needs of today's law enforcement
industry. While serving with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police
Department, Stransky was assigned to the Chief's Office as a
detective in the Intelligence division, tasked with liaising with
the Secret Service during Presidential and Diplomatic Dignitaries
visits to St. Louis. He spent three years as a Uniform Patrol
Officer in the Fifth District and three years as a distinguished
member of the elite "Mobile Reserve" squad. Stransky also played an
integral role in working with community leaders to implement key
COPS (Community Oriented Policing Services) programs sponsored by
the U.S. Department of Justice. He is also noted for initiating a
Joint Task Force to combat gang activity in the metro area. About
