Activities

		GEO Fencing Predictive Policing solutions to reduce response times for first responders
		Designed to reduce domestic violent and recidivism crimes and provide evidence for courts using GEO fencing technology with our patented Predictive Policing Network with an intelligent tiered alerting system and hardware tracking devices with sensors implemented with fail safes in order to provide simultaneous alerts to victims, police and dispatch centers for a means to intervene with a crime and document substantial evidence to enforce orders. After testing the prototype we believe the tool can become a solution for various first responder needs to improve the safety and quality of life for our communities.

Although originally called Wye Town, legend says the name "Canova" was adopted, but transposed to Conover over several years. The City of Conover was chartered in 1876 and incorporated in 1877.
