SAN DIEGO, July 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the global leader in Protective Communications, today announced that LRAD and CONNECT synergies are driving demand from law enforcement and public safety agencies as they prepare for the return of students to campuses, tightly contested national elections, and escalating civil unrest.
“Civil disturbances pose unique challenges and elevated risks for police officers, communities, infrastructure, and the public,” said Richard Danforth, CEO of Genasys. “These situations can quickly escalate, making timely and accurate communication essential. Law enforcement communications tools must provide real-time updates and enable coordinated responses to maintain public order and the safety of all concerned.
David Schnell, VP Global Hardware Sales at Genasys, added, “Used by over 550 U.S. police departments, LRAD systems are specifically designed for challenging environments where bullhorns and other conventional communications tools are inadequate. LRAD’s focused acoustic output ensures law enforcement’s notifications and commands are clearly heard and understood to minimize confusion and deescalate volatile situations as was the case on many campuses and in cities this past spring.”
Jeff Halstead, Genasys’ Director of Strategic Accounts and retired Chief of Police, Fort Worth, TX, said, “CONNECT is specifically designed for police officers and first responders to facilitate secure, real-time information sharing that complies with federal and state data retention guidelines. By combining situational awareness with encrypted, cross-jurisdictional communication, CONNECT assists in identifying and isolating incidents before they escalate, enabling law enforcement to make informed decisions that prioritize safety for police officers and the public.”
With the assistance of its partner, the Boston Red Sox, Genasys is holding a Law Enforcement Appreciation event that will include public safety executive training on protest response, incident debriefing on the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, and communications training for police executives on August 9th at Fenway Park.
Commissioner Richard Worley, Baltimore Police Department, will cover the multi-agency, crisis response and incident management challenges after the March 26, 2024 collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge. Additionally, Chief Chris Cook, White Settlement, TX Police Department, will address “The Art of Strategic Communication”. Chief Cook is a national expert on media relations and engaging communities for police agency support.
