BobCOP, the latest in online citizen’s police reporting system that uses internet and communication technology, has secured Six Million Dollars in grant funding, specifically earmarked to help cities and law enforcement agencies sign up.

Stateline, NV -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/16/2007 -- It couldn't have been a better day for Samuel Anderson, Managing Partner of Tekbrokers VENTURES, LLC. The deal was signed and what it did was extend the reach of the Grant Fund earmarked for law enforcement to sign-up on the latest and most advanced technology utilizing the Internet and mobile technology for citizens to report crimes including many advanced features never before used in this concept and method.

Samuel Anderson, CEO and Managing Partner of Tekbrokers VENTURES, LLC, is very optimistic that the money will help bring cities aboard: "What this does is it allows us to offer the BobCOP system to any sized city or municipality and get them to sign up. Typically, when a city or town is asked to pay for anything, there are meetings, requests, and forms for even the smallest dollar amount. This grant money allows cities to bypass that and just sign up with no strings attached."

The funding was received from The Elkan Group LLC, a private capital group specializing in worthy social causes and ideas. The grant funding is specifically for cities and law enforcement agencies that choose to become a part of the BobCOP System.

Police Departments now have the ability to sign-up, pass the initial background check and be online in a very short amount of time. The latest BobCOP System is a combination of various advanced technical tools that work directly with the Internet, mobile systems and many others that advance the agencies agenda and policies more than they ever imagined. "That's not all", says Samuel Anderson. "We are working day and night to ensure that we are ahead in technology and finding new and improved ways to allow ALL law enforcement to take advantage of and conduct serious police work."

For Anderson, BobCOP represents both years of passionate work, and several hundred thousand dollars of his own money. But he feels that his efforts are paying off. He is also calling on any agencies that can assist by spreading the word about the BobCOP system, as that's the next step he'd like to take: "Our nation's preparedness and the support of our emergency responders in protecting our communities, and providing a way for everyone, must be a shared effort." That's not all Samuel Anderson is providing. He is also providing the means to supply internet service to those departments and organizations that don't have the means to purchase expensive web hosting: "We intend to go the extra mile and make this become a reality. It's about time we started using technology to advance all agencies no matter what their size or geographical location by bringing them out of the dinosaur age". "Nothing needs to be kept outdated any longer, let's move forward".

BobCOP, the latest in online citizen’s police reporting system that uses internet and communication technology, has secured Six Million Dollars in grant funding, specifically earmarked to help cities and law enforcement agencies sign up

Stateline, NV -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/15/2007 -- It's every Police Chief's worst nightmare: a police department that is under staffed and under budget. And until recently, cities had no real funding for advancing technology with their citizens. Then the BobCOP system was introduced, giving cities, municipalities, and ordinary citizens a vital communication tool to be used for reporting non-suspect crimes and tips with complaints and much more by using the Internet. And now, to assist cities and law enforcement agencies in signing up, BobCOP has secured over six million dollars in grant money specifically earmarked to allow cities to initially sign up and take advantage of the Mobile Ready System.

Samuel Anderson, CEO and Managing Partner of Tekbrokers VENTURES, LLC, is very optimistic that the money will help bring cities aboard: "What this does is it allows us to offer the BobCOP Mobile Ready system to any sized city or municipality and get them to sign up. Typically, when a city or town is asked to pay for anything, there are meetings, requests, and forms for even the smallest dollar amount. This grant money allows cities to bypass that and just sign up with no strings attached."

The funding was received from The Elkan Group LLC, a private capital group specializing in worthy social causes and ideas. The grant funding is specifically for cities and law enforcement agencies that choose to become a part of the BobCOP Mobile Ready System.

Police Departments have been very interested in being able to advance their agency into the 21st Century through mobile technology, as it can be used to assist in providing an advanced system for those without a PC and standard internet connection. This wasn't lost on Joel Lieberman, a principle partner of The Elkan Group: "The Elkan Group is investing private funding into our police agencies and cities in order for them to take advantage of the future by being Mobile Ready. They are the front lines of our nation's security, including being the first responders; they should have the opportunity to be a part of 21st century technology for the millions of users who rely solely on their mobile device for communications."

For Anderson, BobCOP represents both years of passionate work, and several hundred thousand dollars of his own money. But he feels that his efforts are paying off. He is also calling on any agencies that can assist by spreading the word about the Mobile Ready BobCOP system, as that's the next step he'd like to take: "Our nation's preparedness and the support of our emergency responders in protecting our communities, and providing a way for everyone, must be a shared effort." That's not all Samuel Anderson is providing. He is also providing the means to supply internet service to those departments and organizations that don't have the means to purchase expensive web hosting: "We intend to go the extra mile and make this become a reality. It's about time we started using technology to advance all agencies no matter what their size or geographical location by bringing them out of the dinosaur age".

Now citizens can contact police and submit complaints and police reports online and from mobile devices, saving time, money, and manpower; while at the same time ensuring a quicker, more accurate police response.

Stateline, NV -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/06/2007 -- If you've ever had to call the police for something minor, then you know the drill: A citizen calls the police with a relatively minor complaint (barking dog, prank phone calls, minor vandalism, etc), and the police send someone out within a few hours or even days to ask questions and gather the facts. Typically, an investigation is not done then and there – the officer is merely present to gather the "who, what, where, and when." Then the officer takes this information back to the station and, if warranted, an investigation begins.

This same scene is played out thousands of times every day all across America.

Imagine if instead of a citizen waiting hours for a police officer, they could report the general facts directly to the police using their personal computer or any mobile device. And imagine the lessened burden on police if they didn't have to always send a uniformed officer out to simply gather the facts. All of this is possible with a new online service named BobCOP.

In simple terms, BobCOP is a service that allows police and law enforcement agencies to setup a simple, personalized website that citizens can directly report crimes to. The software has a multitude of functions, from alerts to searches to robust database features and storage. It's also amazingly simple to use, for both the police agency, and the citizen. Run remotely or in-house, BobCOP is an extremely effective way for law enforcement to truly take advantage of the power and interactivity of the Internet and mobile communications.

It's also a way to save millions of dollars and man-hours. No more sending uniformed officers out to simply gather names, locations, and details. BobCOP does the same job in an elegant and simple fashion.

Retired officer Bob Swinford sees BobCOP as an industry-changing tool: "The simple fact of police work is that a lot of time is spent just taking names and phone numbers." says Swinford "Of course, while there are plenty of crimes where a uniformed officer is absolutely needed, there are thousands of times when one is really not. BobCOP can save millions by allowing citizens to directly report these types of crimes. It's just a better way."

Samuel Anderson, Managing Partner of TekBrokers VENTURES LLC, the developers of BobCOP, agrees: "The ability of citizens to better report crimes is not only a huge convenience to everyone, it also ensures better accuracy. Once several hours pass waiting for an officer, some details may have been lost. BobCOP eliminates that by allowing a citizen instant access to their local police department from any computer or mobile device."

Stateline, NV -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/06/2006 -- While homeland security is on everyone's mind these days, the dollars available for our nation's security remain scarce. It is with that sentiment that Tekbrokers VENTURES, LLC, The Elkan Group, and EmployACT Incorporated have teamed up to bring an unprecedented opportunity for government entities throughout the United States by creating The Save America Initiative Grant Fund. The fund is earmarked for any government agency, state, city, or town that has a need for any technological assistance.

"There are so many times technology can help in National Security" says Samuel Anderson, Executive Director and inventor of EmployACT and the exciting new disaster communications system ComAlert, "but getting money and help is almost impossible."

Asked for an example, Anderson was quick to reply: "For example, a county sheriff might say 'we could really use an inter-departmental database to communicate with each other in case of a terrorist attack'. The problem with that is the process of having to be at the mercy of emergency officials for review is mind boggling to say the least, never mind applying for a grant that will probably never come", says Anderson. "This is where we come in".

Anderson continued: "What we are expecting to happen is for cities throughout the country to contact us and tell us what their needs are in areas of technology. While we do not handle the physical items such as hospital beds, fuel, shelters or medicines, we do technology"

The fund is said to be in the millions of dollars and is continuing to grow every month. The exact dollar amount is not yet disclosed due to the participation of various individuals and corporate entities still involved in the fund process. "We can say that we have enough to really get a good head start on things if we wanted to", says Anderson.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has budgeted $765MM for various grants to regions around the country for urban area security grants. Anderson comments: "This is not even close enough to do what is necessary for those who are at the vital areas of need. It leaves out literally hundreds of cities and government agencies that would like to have some part of this grant from the DHS. In fact, the Bay Area cities alone can easily take up over half of this with one single swoop just for one year. And that's just the beginning".

"I feel sorry for them", says Joel Lieberman, a principle partner of The Elkan Group. "Plenty of cities and agencies are considered too small to even think about their security. While we are spending billions in a country half way around the world, we are leaving our own people and borders left at the mercy of fate. That's why we did this."

Anderson chimed in: "We offer a way for them to harness and use technology by several proven and effective ways. We have tremendous, cost effective tools that will last them for many decades to come" says Anderson
