Seattle, WA, May 19, 2003 - Raywood Communications, the pioneer of in-vehicle digital, security cameras for the taxi industry, today announced that Port Washington, NY based Delux Transportation Services has selected Raywood's SnapShot® Cameras to protect its taxi cab drivers.

Driving a taxi in the US is one of the most high-risk professions, with the risk of serious assault surpassed only by police and private security guards. "We value our employees and want to provide more security for their safety," said Mr. Peter Blasacci, owner of Delux Transportation. "We have had a commitment to excellence for over 35 years; we selected Raywood over all others because they are also committed to excellence" continued Mr. Blasacci.

Raywood was selected after an extensive review of the available solutions. "More and more taxi operators are realizing that having an in-vehicle surveillance camera actually does help prevent many attacks against drivers," said Mr. Doug Anderson, Executive Vice President for Raywood Communications. "Raywood cameras have provided quality images that have been successfully used as evidence in court proceedings, delivering peace of mind so drivers can stay on the road night and day."

"Raywood is very pleased to have a quality company like Delux Transportation Services as a client," said Mr. Steve Watt, Executive Chairman of Raywood Communications.
