EX-99 4 a4505049ex992.txt EXHIBIT 99.2 PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.2 SafetyNet Demonstrated to the Los Angeles Police Department NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 21, 2003--Aegis Assessments, Inc. (OTCBB:AGSI) announced that, as part of its ongoing initiative to deploy its Aegis SafetyNet(TM) Mobile Command Post (MCP) and EKHO(TM) Radio Bridge technologies in California, it conducted a demonstration for the Los Angeles Police Department's Emergency Operations Section in the LAPD's technical center in Los Angeles. The Company has agreed to participate in a larger LAPD training exercise which will simulate an actual emergency situation in order to field test the SafetyNet(TM)'s ability to provide real-time streaming video, audio, secure messaging, and NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) detection data from an emergency site. The all-digital system, which is compact, ruggedized, self-configuring and expandable, also contains a radio bridge which interconnects incompatible radios and bridges them beyond their normal capabilities. The field test will also be used to evaluate custom requirements of the LAPD in using the SafetyNet(TM) MCP as a mobile wireless platform with the LAPD's existing incident management resources. The LAPD recently received a $6 million grant to help Los Angeles develop an interoperable communication system for emergency responders from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program. These funds were part of a joint program between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to develop demonstration projects that will use equipment and technology to increase interoperability among the fire service, law enforcement, and emergency medical service communities. "The grants made in this process are intended to uncover solutions that will guide future communications equipment funding so that all communities can meet an interoperability performance standard," said Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge. "Providing funds that will help bring these technologies to the light of day directly support homeland security's goal to make all of America safer." About Aegis Assessments, Inc.
