Detroit cops tests FreeLinc headsets

DETROIT, July 25 (UPI) -- The Detroit Sheriffs department was the first to test FreeLinc's wireless headsets for two-way radios during the 2005 Major League Baseball All-Star game.

"Wayne County Sheriff's deputies had their hands full helping protect Comerica Park during the 2005 Major League Baseball All-Star Game last Tuesday, but at least those hands weren't tied up with cables from their radios," Sheriff Warren Evans of Detroit said of FreeLinc Inc.'s FreeMotion200 headsets. "Any officer will tell you how frustrating it can be to have to fumble with radio controls, handsets and cords when trying to do a job. It's a particular concern in high-level operations where mental focus is paramount. The FreeMotion devices we tested allowed our team to communicate totally hands-free. So we worked with increased safety and security -- without interruption."

"The FreeMotion 200 headset has the distinction of being the world's first wireless headset made for two-way radios," Anthony J. Sutera, FreeLinc's CEO, said in a news release. "Like all FreeLinc products, the FreeMotion is based on a unique wireless technology that provides dramatic benefits to the law enforcement community. We were honored and excited to see our products in use at the All-Star Game."
