Eye Dynamics, Inc.
(
OTCBB: EYDY,
Trade), a leading provider of health and safety products, today announced it has retained
Richard Studdard, former head of Los Angeles Police Department's Drug Recognition
Expert Unit, to expand the company's law enforcement market program. According
to a company spokesperson, the company took this action in response to the positive
reaction it has received as a direct result of its marketing efforts for the
Video HGN Goggle System.
"Eye Dynamics is pleased to be able to work with Dick Studdard. As an expert
in his field, and with over 34 years of law enforcement experience, he is the
perfect person to expand this market." Said Ron Waldorf, Chairman & CEO of Eye Dynamics.
The company believes that in the form of its Video HGN Goggle System, it is able
to provide the law enforcement community with a powerful training tool for
personnel involved in administering the Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST)
as well as those involved in the nation's Drug Recognition Expert Program.
The SFST is used in every state for roadside determination of driving under the
influence. The DRE Program exists by state law in almost 40 states. Both were
developed by the federal government.
Studdard will be responsible for increasing awareness of and demand for the
company's HGN System amongst uniformed agencies as well as nonprofit associations
whose mission is to support the reduction of motor vehicle crashes resulting
from drunk/drugged driving.. Currently, Video HGN Systems are being used by
the California Highway Patrol and other agencies as well as specialized research institutions.
Studdard, a retired Sergeant of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD),
received the Distinguished Service Medal and Meritorious Unit Medal in the
course of his career. Prior to his retirement from the LAPD, he supervised
the Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Enforcement units. In addition, he
served as officer-in-charge of the department's Drug Recognition Expert (DRE)
Unit and was the DRE Training Coordinator for the State of California.
Studdard also served as a Special Consultant on the Drug Evaluation and
Classification Program, Technical Advisory Panel, of the International
Association of Chiefs of Police and was a lead investigator in various
research projects on alcohol and drug signs from Johns Hopkins University,
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
