London, Monday 1st August 2011
ROK Americas, the US subsidiary of ROK Global PLC, the mobile and web
technology development company, has today announced it will undertake two
further Trials with key Law Enforcement and Police Agencies on the
Texas-Mexico border.

These latest trials are in addition to the contracts already awarded to ROK
by US Law Enforcement Agencies.
Commenting on the latest developments, Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman and CEO
of ROK said –Following in-depth trials earlier this year which resulted in
contracts being awarded to us, our ROK Homeland Security service will now
undergo further trials with two more Law Enforcement Agencies in Southern
Texas.–

ROK Homeland Security is a mobile phone-based service which provides
real-time, secure technologies to assist law enforcement officers in the
gathering and management of information in a variety of formats including
encrypted data based communications and improved spatial awareness
capabilities. This is particularly useful in counter-terrorism operations,
criminal investigations, counter-narcotic operations, physical security,
evidence-gathering and field communications.

–We know that the use of highly efficient technology is absolutely critical
in the fight against terrorism as technology really is the only advantage
we have. Given that ROK Homeland Security dramatically increases
operational efficiencies in a highly cost-effective manner, we are
delighted to see more and more government agencies adopting our service
across the United States and elsewhere in the world.– Added Kendrick.
