"ICOP has achieved extraordinary success in its early efforts to penetrate the law enforcement market with customers in 43 states, to date. This success is due largely to the sales and marketing leadership of Kevin McDugle. In his new capacity as Director of our newly formed Military Sales division, we have great confidence that he will prove highly effective in helping ICOP to accelerate its plan to win preferred solutions provider status within the Military and homeland security sectors," stated Dave Owen, Chief Executive Officer of ICOP. "Kevin's technical background in software and hardware, coupled with his decorated Military experience, gives him an invaluable insight into the importance of providing leading edge technology solutions which mitigate the dangers our troops face in their service to our Country in Iraq and other hot zones. In this regard, ICOP is committed to helping meet this challenge through the delivery of our mobile surveillance solutions." Prior to joining ICOP, McDugle managed leading sales teams marketing technology products to Fortune 500 companies for over a decade. For eight years, he served in the United States Marine Corps working primarily with Anti-terrorist Special Forces teams based at Bangor, Washington Naval Submarine Base. Earning Combat Action ribbons for campaigns in Saudi Arabia, Bosnia and Somalia, McDugle also served as an Airborne Forward Observer, Liaison to foreign military officers and advisors and the 75th Ranger Battalion, and was a Marine Drill Instructor at Parris Island, South Carolina. He is a Sworn Officer with the Ottawa Kansas Police Department, where he currently serves as a Reserve Officer. McDugle is a graduate of Southern Nazarene University where he earned a BS degree in Business, and holds a Masters degree in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix. "John's law enforcement leadership experience, combined with over a decade of solutions-based selling experience to local governments - including his success in developing two major territories as a Regional Sales Manager at ICOP, makes him the ideal choice to lead ICOP's national sales force into the future," added Owen. With more than 11 years experience as a commissioned police officer and police dispatcher in St Louis, Stransky has a unique understanding of the needs of today's law enforcement industry. While serving with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, Stransky was assigned to the Chief's Office as a detective in the Intelligence division, tasked with liaising with the Secret Service during Presidential and Diplomatic Dignitaries visits to St. Louis.
