The company has created the COPsync Network, with applications that enable law enforcement patrol officers to communicate in real-time on the Network; and COPsync911, which is activated by school staff when a threatening situation arises, and allows the staff to send an immediate and silent alert to all other staff, the local law enforcement dispatch center and the closest law enforcement officers in their patrol cars.

Ronald Woessner, CEO of COPsync, Inc., has helped develop a real-time, in-car information-sharing communication and data interoperability network enabling patrol officers to collect, report and share critical data in real-time at the point of incident and obtain instant access to various databases.
