Federal Signal Partners With Target Safe City to Enhance Safety, Security and Well-Being

    UNIVERSITY PARK, Ill., Aug. 15 /EMWNews/ -- Federal Signal

Corporation's Safety and Security Systems Group, a leader in advancing

security and well-being, today announced its partnership with the

community-based Safe City initiative.



    "We are excited to have Federal Signal as a corporate partner," said

Steve Persian, Safe City national program manager at Target Corporation.

"They offer an impressive mix of technology products and have a long

standing and solid reputation as a leading provider of public safety and

security solutions."



    Safe City is a community-based initiative that unites law enforcement,

businesses, residents and city officials. The initiative leverages

partnerships and technology to maximize safeness and minimize theft and

other crimes in communities. In turn, Safe City helps enable safer

communities in which to live, work and shop.



    Federal Signal provides Safe City communities with preferred pricing

for its innovative technology, which includes automated license plate

recognition capabilities, public safety software and mobile video systems,

public safety wireless broadband networks, video surveillance systems,

public warning systems and interoperable communications, alerting and

notification systems.



    Federal Signal's PIPS Technology automated license plate recognition

(ALPR) system has already been deployed as part of Los Angeles County

Sheriff Department's Advanced Surveillance and Protection (ASaP) Plan -- a

Safe City project. During the initial test phase, with advanced technology

from PIPS in place, two wanted felons were identified and later arrested

based on the intelligence made available by the ALPR system.



    "Federal Signal is extremely proud to partner with this group of

leading companies, agencies and communities representing the Safe City

initiative," said Michael K. Wons, vice president and general manager of

Federal Signal Corporation's Public Safety Systems Division. "We are

delighted to team with Safe City on this important initiative to reduce

crime and promote safety to strengthen communities throughout our great

country."
