CompuDyne's Public Safety and Justice Unit, Tiburon, Successfully Installs Public Safety Automation System for Ft. Collins/Larimer County, CO.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- CompuDyne Corporation (NASDAQ:CDCY) an industry leader in sophisticated security products, integration and technology for the public security markets, successfully completed the installation of a $3.3 million integrated Computer Aided Dispatch ("CAD"), Records Management System ("RMS") and Corrections Management System ("CMS") for the city of Ft. Collins and Larimer County, Colorado. CompuDyne's Public Safety & Justice unit, Tiburon, is an industry-leading provider of automated public safety and justice systems to meet the demanding and complex needs of law enforcement, fire & rescue, corrections and justice environments.

The multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional Ft. Collins and Larimer County system brought together four existing communication centers and will allow the departments of Ft Collins, Berthoud and Estes Park, the Larimer County Sheriff's, the Poudre Fire Authority, the Poudre Valley Ambulance Company and Colorado State University to share critical public safety information. "The ability to electronically share information between these seven agencies is crucial for effective public safety response, and is the big payoff of this new system for the departments," says Larry Vail, Project Manager for the Combined Regional Information System Project ("CRISP"). "The positive partnership between CRISP and Tiburon made turning on three major systems at the same time a rewarding experience. The systems are up and running substantially error-free."

The new CAD system will allow police, sheriff's department, fire and emergency dispatchers to respond to and manage 9-1-1 calls more efficiently. Each dispatch position is equipped with a dynamic map that continuously displays the location of units and incidents.

The comprehensive RMS system consolidates and automates records processing for five law enforcement agencies throughout the city and county, helping officers solve crimes and track suspects that inevitably cross city and county boundaries. In a subsequent phase, automated report writing will be available to field units. Officers will enter and access their accident and case reports while in the field, increasing the speed and accuracy of incident reporting and permitting officers to spend more time in the community.

The CMS system provides correctional administrators the power to track the status of all inmates and manage jail housing and inmate population information, which increases the safety and efficiency of jail operations.

Tiburon is currently implementing RMS systems for the city of Longmont and Jefferson County, Colorado as well as a Records Management and Corrections Management system in nearby Boulder County, Colorado. A Tiburon system has been in use in Greeley/Weld County, Colorado since 1995.
