Prince George's County, MD Installs a New Computer Aided Dispatch System from Tiburon, Inc

Business Wire, Dec 13, 2006

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- CompuDyne Corporation (NASDAQ: CDCY) an industry leader in sophisticated security products, integration and technology for the public security markets, announced today that it successfully completed the installation of a new Computer Aided Dispatch, ("CAD") system for Prince George's County, Maryland. CompuDyne's public safety and justice unit, Tiburon, Inc., 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.

Prince George's County, a Tiburon client since 1999, upgraded their existing system to take advantage of new technologies and to provide improved communications to the police, sheriff, fire and rescue departments that serve the nearly one million residents of the county.

The new CAD system will allow dispatchers to respond to and manage citizen's requests for emergency services more efficiently. Each dispatch position is equipped with a dynamic map that displays the location of calls for service and units and helps communication center personnel manage calls. In the event a call for emergency service requires multiple agencies within the County, information is shared and available to all departments in real time.

Integral to the new system is the ability for the dispatcher to triage calls for medical emergencies. By asking the caller a series of questions, dispatchers can automatically select the proper units to send to a call as well as instruct the caller with medically approved protocols until assistance arrives.

Risks inherent in the Company's business and with respect to future uncertainties are further described in its other filings with the Securities Exchange Commission, such as the Company's Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, and Form 8-K reports.
