Brekford Signs Contract in Greenbelt, Increases Automated Traffic Safety Coverage in Maryland

HANOVER, Md., May 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brekford Corp. (OTCBB:BFDI) (OTCQB:BFDI), a leading public safety technology service provider of fully integrated traffic safety solutions, vehicle up-fitting, and rugged mobile technology, was recently authorized to sign a speed enforcement contract with the City of Greenbelt. Greenbelt joins an ever growing list of municipalities in Maryland that are currently using Brekford's automated traffic safety solutions.

Flexibility, innovation and end-user experience were critical components in Greenbelt's selection of Brekford over other industry leaders. Maryland law requires speed cameras to be calibrated every morning before the designated times of operation, which can become a cumbersome and time consuming process, particularly when multiple camera systems are involved. The online nature of Brekford's systems was particularly attractive, since it allows police officers to work more efficiently.

"Greenbelt's agreement with Brekford is a cost-efficient solution that doesn't overextend the city's present fiscal responsibilities," stated Cpl. Derrick Washington. "In a time of budgetary constraints, Brekford's camera systems will provide conformance to the city's traffic regulations without requiring the consistent presence of a police officer, saving both time and money."

The contract provides for up to ten (10) camera systems, which will be strategically placed in school zones around the city where aggressive driving is most prevalent. The contract length is expected to span a period of five to six years, with an initial three year commitment and three (3) options for additional one year renewals. In accordance with Maryland law, the Greenbelt Police Department will use the speed cameras to issue warnings to vehicles exceeding posted speed limits for a period of 30 days. After this initial 30-day period, drivers captured driving at least 12 miles over the speed limit will be issued $40 a citation, with additional penalties imposed for failure to remit payment.

"Greenbelt's selection of Brekford's system demonstrates a growing commitment by local government entities to improve public safety by targeting aggressive and dangerous drivers," stated C.B. Brechin, Brekford's CEO. "Our systems save lives while simultaneously heightening public safety awareness and promoting safe environments for children and motorists alike. It's a win-win situation all around."

"More and more communities are committed to increasing public safety through the use of technological solutions," added Maurice Nelson, Managing Director of Brekford. "Brekford is pleased to be championing the way with our 360° approach to engineered solutions, which demonstrates our growth strategy and dedication to the enhancement of shareholder value both today and tomorrow."
