It's all about working together!
The Community Network Program (CNP) is based on a working relationship between the community, law enforcement, and a technology partner. In essence, each member is responsible to the other. As a part of the community, your business, institution, or organization benefits with lower insurance rates, enhanced personal safety for your and your employees through rapid response by local law enforcement made possible by the technology developed by Falcon Direct. Now that's a good deal for you, but how about your local law enforcement folks, or for that matter, even Falcon Direct.
So what does law enforcement need? There are all kinds of things that just don't normally get approved in the typical budgets. Surveillance devices of all types not only are needed but beneficial both for law enforcement and you. One of the devices that benefits everyone is called a Crook Catcher. You can learn more about this device by clicking on the task bar above. A variation of this device is being used to reduce breaking into vending machines. We call it the Cold Case Closer! You can learn more about this remarkable product by clicking here. The point is that law enforcement agencies need additional funds for special needs that are outside the regular budget. They is why we set aside a portion of the proceeds on sales of CNP products specifically to help participating law enforcement agencies do their job a little better. So, not only does the community benefit through CNP, so do participating law enforcement agencies. So, who have we forgotten?
The forgotten partner, at least at this point, is the technology partner - that's us, Falcon Direct! So what do we get our of the relationship? Well, we make money - that's a given, but what we do with that money is important. We develop the technology to serve you using Americans for engineering, production, sales, and support. We put back a part of all we earn into developing new technology to help the people we care much about - law enforcement as well as fire and rescue (more about this later), and the people they care about - the members of their community. So now we have come full circle. We ALL benefit from the Community Network Program. Now, let's look at the prices of the various products available for CNP participants.
The products listed below are similar to other Ritron products available for governmental use. The prices are somewhat higher since a portion of the selling price is allocated to the support agency. On-line orders are accepted only in areas where an existing CNP agreement is in place with a participating public safety agency. If you have questions, please call Burch Falkner at 1.800.489.2611.
