CompuDyne's Public Safety and Justice Unit, Tiburon, Installs Computer Aided Dispatch System for the Kansas City, MO Police Department.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- CompuDyne Corporation (NASDAQ:CDCY), an industry leader in sophisticated security products, integration and technology for the public security markets, completed the installation of a new Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system for the Police Department of Kansas City, Missouri. CompuDyne's Public Safety & Justice unit, Tiburon, is an industry-leading provider of automated public safety and justice systems which meet the demanding and complex needs of law enforcement, fire & rescue, corrections and justice environments.

The new CAD system operates on fully distributed Microsoft Windows(R) workstations providing server-independent processing of all critical functions and a reliable configuration delivering system availability approaching 100%. If any component fails, the system continues to function. "The distributed architecture of the CAD system was a major factor in selecting Tiburon, and is critical in providing the system reliability demanded by public safety agencies," said Rick Brisbin, Project Manager for the city of Kansas City.

The system is the second phase of an $8.6 million contract to provide new public safety systems for the city's police and fire departments. Earlier this year, Tiburon successfully installed a CAD and Records Management System (RMS) for the Kansas City Fire Department. In the case of an emergency situation that requires both police and fire response, interagency information can be electronically transferred between departments in real time.

Subsequent phases of this comprehensive public safety system include a corrections management system, a police records management system and a mobile communications subsystem, comprised of mobile mapping and automated field reporting.
