ROK Americas, the US subsidiary of ROK Global PLC (FWB:RKG), the mobile and web technology development company, has today announced it has appointed Dallas-based security specialist Fusion Security Solutions to market its ROK Homeland Security (RHS) service to law enforcement agencies across the United States.
Commenting, Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman and CEO of ROK said “Fusion Security Solutions is a highly respected, proven and successful company in the security services market in the US and, as such, we are very pleased to be working with them on the deployment of RHS as it means we are able to shorten the standard government agency sales cycle further whilst benefitting from even greater reach into many more law enforcement agencies right across the United States.”
ROK Homeland Security is a mobile phone-based service, developed by ROK, which provides real-time, secure technologies to assist law enforcement officers in the gathering and management of information in a variety of formats including encrypted data based communications and improved spatial awareness capabilities.
RHS has been specifically designed for use in counter-terrorism operations, criminal investigations, counter-narcotic operations, physical security, evidence-gathering and field communications.
“ROK Homeland Security is an outstanding, cost-effective and easy to use force-multiplier in counter-terrorism and law-enforcement which we believe will be of enormous benefit, so we are delighted to be able to showcase its capabilities to our existing customers and on its general further deployment across the country.” Said Derek Ringley, President, Fusion Security Solutions.
