Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
COPsync, Inc., (the “Company”) sells the COPsync service, which is a real-time, in-car information sharing, communication and data interoperability network for law enforcement agencies. The COPsync service enables patrol officers to collect, report and share critical data in real-time at the point of incident and obtain instant access to various local, state and federal law enforcement databases.
In addition to the Company’s core COPsync information sharing, data interoperability and communication network service, the Company sells complementary service/product offerings, one of which is VidTac, an in-vehicle, software driven, video camera system for law enforcement. The Company uses a single contract manufacturer to manufacture the product and supporting components, and conflict minerals, as defined by paragraph (d)(3) of this item, are contained in the VidTac product, and are either necessary to its functionality or necessary to the product’s production.
The Company has made a country of origin inquiry of its contract manufacturer to determine whether the necessary conflict minerals contained in the VidTac product originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country. We understand that the total number of components contained in the VidTac product continues to be slightly over 200 items, and are sourced from slightly over 20 suppliers from around the world. The Company received information from its contract manufacturer that the majority of the suppliers have responded and based upon their information sources, that
they do not intentionally or knowingly originate conflict minerals from the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country for the Company’s VidTac product produced by that contract manufacturer. The Company’s contract manufacturer continues striving for a 100% response from its suppliers as of the date of this report.
