Suspect Detection Systems Sells Cogito Interrogation Units to Private Enterprise in Central America

NEW YORK, August 9, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Suspect Detection Systems Inc., (OTCBB:SDSS and SVF.BE), announced today that the company's subsidiary Suspect Detection Systems Ltd., a developer of counter terror and crime prevention technology, has sold multiple units of the Cogito rapid interrogation system to a human resource company operating in Central America and Mexico.

The customer is an investigative enterprise that was recently established to provide clients with Cogito based services. Cogito technology will be used by the customer to conduct pre-employment applicant screenings, internal threat and loss prevention screenings, as well as corporate internal investigations. This new enterprise is the sister company of a long-standing human resource company active throughout Latin America.

The Cogito automated system is able to quickly expose the hostile intent of potential employees who may be connected to crime organizations, or have a history of criminal activity.

A six-digit down payment has been advanced to the company for delivery of the system units. In addition, the sale features a revenue sharing model whereby Suspect Detection Systems and the private enterprise will divide income from each individual applicant screening.

The transaction is the first multiple unit sale to a private enterprise operating in Central America. The sale follows an earlier contract with the same entity. Cogito is already being utilized by federal law enforcement agents in various Latin American countries including Mexico.

"Cogito technology is once again proving that is valuable not only to federal law enforcement agencies, but also to the private sector," stated Gil Boosidan, CEO of Suspect Detection Systems Inc. "We believe that Cogito will prove particularly effective in preventing crime in Central America where criminal activity in the workplace often takes place."

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime reports that Central America is a region prone to organized crime, money laundering, drug trafficking and corruption. Such criminal activity has had a negative impact on the region's economy. (View the UNODC report at http://tiny.cc/centralamerica.)
