LENEXA, KS--(Marketwire - May 11, 2010) - ICOP Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: [ ICOP ]), an industry-leading company engaged in advanced [ mobile video technology ] solutions, today announced that in accordance with a new strategic alliance with ICOP, Sparta will offer a lease-financing alternative to ICOP's customers under the their Municipal Lease Program. Sparta has become a leader in the [ law enforcement ] market for municipal leases and the relationship affords both companies the opportunity to leverage existing relationships.

"We are pleased to be able to support agencies with financing options, as the economy recovers. By partnering with Sparta, the process is streamlined for agencies, and provides tremendous flexibility," said Bob Bradley, Director of National Sales and Marketing for ICOP Digital, Inc.

ICOP's product line includes a variety of state-of-the-art video systems that are either facility or vehicle-based, and provide live, streaming video for security and surveillance purposes. Until now, ICOP's governmental customers had limited options versus purchasing the systems outright with full payments made up front. Through the new relationship with Sparta, local or state agencies that want to acquire ICOP systems will now be able to lease the equipment with the cost spread out over a period of time with appreciably lower capital outlays in any given year, resulting in the agency owning the systems at the end of the lease period.

Commenting on the new relationship with ICOP, Anthony Havens, Sparta's CEO, said "Once again, a provider of important and necessary equipment to a variety of governmental agencies has recognized the value of Sparta's Municipal Lease Program as an excellent and timely alternative to the traditional way of purchasing that equipment. ICOP is a leader in their market sector, and we are extremely pleased to be able to work with them in advancing a more practical and economical way for their customers to acquire the critical equipment they need. We're looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with them."
