Municipalities Respond Positively to Sparta's Alliance With ICOP
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - June 9, 2010) - Less than two months after Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. (
The nine municipalities include two cities in Illinois, two in North Carolina, and one each in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Ohio, and Alabama.
The strategic alliance between Sparta and ICOP designates Sparta as the preferred provider of lease financing for the advanced mobile video equipment produced by ICOP and marketed to municipal law enforcement and other agencies throughout the United States.
Sparta's Municipal Lease Program has become increasingly popular among local agencies as a more fiscally prudent and cost effective way of acquiring the necessary equipment they need, whether it is police motorcycles or cruisers, EMS or tactical vehicles, or trucks or specialty equipment. The Sparta program enables municipalities to acquire critical equipment through a lease, with the costs spread out over a period of time, rather than a purchase that requires paying the full cost up front. With local governments suffering from lower revenues and having to be much more attentive to their budgetary constraints, Sparta's Municipal Lease Program has become an excellent alternative to traditional purchasing.
Commenting on the quick results of the new alliance with ICOP, Anthony Havens, Sparta's CEO, said, "We knew that the relationship with ICOP would be mutually beneficial, but we're particularly pleased that the opportunities are developing so quickly. Given ICOP's line of critical, state-of-the-art equipment, and Sparta's commitment to support their sales with our Municipal Lease Program, the relationship is clearly a perfect match. We expect to have a mutually profitable relationship well into the future."
