Founding COPsync

In August 2000 Texas Safety Officer Randy Vetter was killed making what he believed to be a routine traffic stop for a seat belt violation.

The shooter in that car had made death threats against officers, which were documented months earlier in another department.

But that information was never shared because no system existed to connect different departments.

COPsync’s co-founders, Shane Rapp and Russell Chaney, colleagues and friends of Officer Vetter, saw that his life may have been spared if the departments shared information.

COPsync was born so that lives could be saved.

Today, COPsync operates the nation’s only law enforcement real-time, information sharing network. The protection provided by COPsync has expanded to community buildings such as schools, banks, hospitals, energy companies and more.
