CompuDyne Corporation (NASDAQ: CDCY), an industry leader in
sophisticated security products, integration, and technology for
the public security markets, announced today that the county of
Arlington, Virginia signed a contract with CompuDyne�s public
safety and justice unit, Tiburon, Inc. of Pleasanton, CA, to
provide a comprehensive upgrade to the county�s Computer Aided
Dispatch (CAD) system. Tiburon is an industry-leading provider of
automated public safety and justice systems to meet the demanding
and complex needs of law enforcement, fire and rescue, corrections,
and justice environments. The Arlington County Office of Emergency
Management, a client since 1993, contracted with Tiburon for an
upgrade to their existing Computer Aided Dispatch system. The
County wanted to take advantage of the new hardware technology and
enhanced software functionality provided by this comprehensive
upgrade. "With more office space than downtown Boston and Los
Angeles, Arlington is a dense, urban community with a mix of
residential and commercial neighborhoods and, therefore, requires
complex emergency response capabilities,� said John Crawford,
Emergency Communications Center Commander. �We also have a
significant federal presence; when the Pentagon dials 9-1-1,
Arlington answers the call.� A committee comprised of county public
safety officials have agreed to continue their partnership with
Tiburon. �We are confident in the functionality of the Tiburon
product and feel positive about using Tiburon upgrades in the
future,� continues Crawford. The new system will be installed in
the summer of 2007 in a new state-of-the-art Emergency
Communications Center (ECC) which will provide 9-1-1, police, fire,
and emergency medical dispatch services to Arlington County, plus
9-1-1, fire, and emergency medical dispatch services to the city of
Falls Church, Virginia. Once operational in the new center, the
county will retrofit the existing ECC as a hot back-up auxiliary
ECC. The auxiliary center will be able to operate as a fully
independent call-taking and dispatch facility or as an extension of
the ECC during a major event, such as the September 11, 2001 attack
on the Pentagon. The Tiburon upgrade will network together fully
redundant CAD solutions installed in each of the Emergency
Communications Centers. Within the last year, the cities of
Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, VA and Prince George�s County, MD
have also given the company a vote of confidence by contracting
with Tiburon to upgrade their existing public safety systems.
