CompuDyne Promotes Wiggins to Chief Operating Officer.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- CompuDyne Corporation (Nasdaq:CDCY), an industry leader in sophisticated security products, integration and technology for the public security markets, announced that it has appointed Brad Wiggins, the President of its Attack Protection business, to the additional position of Chief Operating Officer.

Mr. Wiggins joined CompuDyne as President of Attack Protection in January 2005 after a long career at Owens Corning that included the management of manufacturing operations in Belgium and India.

Since joining CompuDyne Mr. Wiggins has executed a dramatic turnaround of the company's Norshield brand business of manufacturing high grade bullet, blast and attack protection windows and doors for U.S. embassies worldwide as well as other highly secure properties such as Federal Reserve buildings, courthouses, government offices, and even the White House. Through the implementation of lean manufacturing, the start of six sigma quality measures, as well as innovative management techniques and a renewed attention to customer relations and marketing, Norshield is currently experiencing sharply higher backlogs, revenues and earnings.

Mr. Wiggins will be responsible for company-wide operations and will continue as President of the Attack Protection business until a successor can be identified.

"Brad has done an absolutely spectacular job for us in his short tenure here," said Martin Roenigk, Chairman and CEO of CompuDyne. "He has dramatically improved the quality and morale of the Norshield team while simultaneously significantly reducing costs and improving quality and customer service. Brad's commitment to the customer is evidenced by improved relations with our traditional customer base as well as expanded relationships with new customers and new market segments which are very promising for future results. Norshield, long a leader in its field, has become a far more competitive company under Brad's leadership, and we look forward to his similarly influencing the rest of our market leading businesses."
