AOT Public Safety Corporation announces a project to implement CryWolf(TM) to reduce false alarms in Riverside, CA

WALDORF, MD-10/16/02--AOT Public Safety Corporation (PSC) announces that the City of Riverside, California has selected PSCs CryWolf(TM) system to implement its false alarm law. CryWolf(TM) is the leading false alarm tracking and billing solution in the U.S. and Canada.

The City Riverside, CA has a population of 255,000 and plans to go live with CryWolf(TM) in early 2003. The system is designed to help make more efficient use of law enforcement time and resources, produce significant fee and fine revenue, and most importantly, reduce false alarms.

With more electronic alarm systems being installed each year, an increasing burden is placed on law enforcement, fire and EMS 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. AOT Public Safety Corporation provides outstanding support, not matter where the location. As one customer stated, Customer Service has been great. Our phone calls have been returned promptly and our questions answered with the utmost courtesy and professionalism." CryWolf(TM) is the total false alarm tracking and billing solution.
