AOT Public Safety Corporation Announces CryWolf(TM) False Alarm Management Software Implementation for Fairfax County, Virginia

AOT Public Safety Corporation announces the successful implementation of their flagship product, CryWolf(TM), to reduce the amount of false alarms in Fairfax County, Virginia.

WALDORF, MD--Sep. 27, 2002--AOT Public Safety Corporation (www.publicsafetycorp.com) today announces the successful implementation of their market leading software, CryWolf(TM), in Fairfax County, Virginia.

With a population of 969,000 in the county, the Fairfax County Police Department has gone 'live with CryWolf(TM) false alarm tracking and automatic billing software from AOT Public safety Corporation. The system is intended to make more efficient use of law enforcement time and resources, produce fee and fine revenue from false alarm offenders, and, most importantly, reduce the number of false alarms in the county.

AOT Public Safety Corporation met or exceeded every timeline we set for development and implementation. When we modified the development plan at the last minute, the staff worked harder to ensure deadlines were met. The speed that the programmers added our 'custom features was nothing short of amazing," said Lt. Mark Hopson, Fairfax County Police Department System Development and Implementation Manager.

With more electronic alarm systems being installed each year, an increasing burden is placed on law enforcement agencies. One of the major problems with these systems is the number of false alarms generated -- as much as 99% are false. When officers respond to an alarm, valuable time and money is wasted. CryWolf(TM) is the solution to greatly reduce false alarms and allows for agencies to enforce ordinance and generate additional revenue. The software is an easy to install, user-friendly, and fully customizable commercial-off-the-shelf product. Having CryWolf(TM) implemented greatly reduces the time and effort to process alarm calls, produces fee and fine revenue, and reduces overall response cost.

Les Greenberg, CEO of AOT Public Safety Corporation, said, Because cities and counties find that our system reduces false alarms and produces revenue, we are busy rolling out CryWolf(TM) across the United States and Canada. Everyone wants to realize CryWolf(TM)'s benefits, and use law enforcement resources with greater safety and efficiency."
