These agencies will be trained on the system they were awarded through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Commercial Equipment Direct Assistance Program (CEDAP). CEDAP selected Ocean Systems dTective with ClearID as the solution of choice in the category of Image and Video Processing Forensic Utilities for both the 2008 and 2009 award years.

Ocean Systems dTective with ClearID, provide law enforcement agencies with investigative cost saving tools that help them more efficiently utilize the multimedia evidence (video, audio and still images) that is available from CCTV, surveillance video and other sources.

"We are honored to be selected by CEDAP to provide both the systems and the training for two consecutive years," said Angelo Guarino, president of Ocean Systems.
