Law Enforcement Associates Corporation (LEA) (AMEX: AID), the
largest U.S. developer and manufacturer of undercover surveillance
equipment, today announced that the State Department has purchased
a Smith & Wesson-branded Swift Under-Vehicle Inspection System
(UVIS). The Swift, a lightweight, ground-based surveillance device
that utilizes a specialized wide-angle, low-light camera to inspect
vehicle undercarriages, will be used as part of the security system
of an overseas U.S. Embassy. The specific location of the embassy
and value of the contract were not disclosed.
Paul Feldman, president of LEA, said, "Our Swift and legacy UVIS
products are utilized both as surveillance and deterrence tools,
and are helping protect U.S. assets and personnel around the world,
including throughout Iraq and Afghanistan. We have sold more than
2000 of these units, and are encouraged by the sustained demand
this family of products has received since the original model was
introduced in 1996."
Feldman said that a recent surge in order activity led to record
product shipments during the month of August. "We shipped $1.1
million in orders last month, and are optimistic that recent order
volume will lead to continued shipping momentum throughout
September and into the fourth quarter."
