SUBSENTIO® HONORS CAROLINA WEST WIRELESS FOR ROLE IN RAPID RESPONSE RESCUE OF LOST TEENS
June 5, 2019
Winner of Subsentio “Safe Harbor Award” Implemented Lawful Intercept Technology to Help Rescue Teams Locate Boys Lost in Woods
WILKESBORO, NC and DENVER, June 3, 2019 – Subsentio today announced it has honored Carolina West Wireless by presenting the mobile service provider with the Subsentio “Safe Harbor Award” for their role in ensuring the safe rescue of two teenage youths who lost their way while hiking in Stone Mountain State Park in March 2019.
“We are very proud to accept this award from Subsentio,” said Jude O’Sullivan, Chief Customer Officer of Carolina West Wireless. “Thanks to the remarkable technologies we host, a very worrisome incident for the boys and their families was brought to a safe and happy conclusion.”
“This event can help boost awareness of how systems designed to apprehend criminals and terrorists are equally important to the work of first responders,” said Steve Bock, President and CEO of Subsentio. “Not for the first time, advanced technology saved lives.”
The rescue operation unfolded on the afternoon of March 3, 2019. While hiking on the state park’s “Mountains to the Sea Trail,” the two boys went off trail, lost their way and dialed 911 on their smartphone for help. Carolina West went into action, deploying GPS location and radio frequency (RF) triangulation to determine the youth’s location, precisely position rescuers in a 14,351-acre state park, and find the teens before night fell and temperatures plunged. When the lost boys emerged from the woods, the rescue team was there to meet them.

SUBSENTIO® LAUNCHES LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE SERVICES IN BRAZIL
March 5, 2019World’s Leading Trusted Third Party Firm to Help Law Enforcement Agencies Stop and Apprehend Criminals and Terrorists in Latin America’s Most Populous Nation
DENVER, March 5, 2018 – Subsentio today announced it has introduced its suite of advanced lawful intercept and records production services in Brazil, now the 22nd nation where the world-leading “trusted third party” of legal compliance technology solutions supports law enforcement efforts to stop and prevent criminal and terrorist activity.
Subsentio’s Safe Harbor Probe® will soon be available to Brazilian law enforcement and government agencies to monitor potentially criminal and terrorist individuals across a population of over 200 million. The Safe Harbor Probe® is a proprietary solution that operates on a variety of networks used by communications service providers.
“Our Safe Harbor Probe® will be used by local and federal police, support global standards and adhere to Brazil’s code of law,” said Steve Bock, president and CEO of Subsentio. “We are very proud to provide a suite of services that helps ensure national security, supports the laws of every country where we do business, and as a direct result improves the personal safety and quality of life for millions of individuals.”
Subsentio’s entry to Brazil, which takes place following an export license approval by the U.S. Department of Commerce, sets the stage for the company’s plans to provide the same crime-stopping, and often life-saving capabilities throughout Latin and Central America.
According to a 2018 report by the Igarapé Institute, a Brazilian-based think tank focused on security issues, every year more than one-third of the world’s murders occur in Latin America, home to just 8 percent of the global populace. Four nations – Brazil, Columbia, Mexico and Venezuela – account for 25 percent of the murders on earth.
“Lawful intercept and public safety go hand-in-hand,” said Joel Margolis, Subsentio General Counsel. “Since passage of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act in the early 1990s, violent crimes in the United States have declined 48 percent. It is Subsentio’s vision to spread this mission worldwide, in keeping with other countries’ laws and policies.”

SUBSENTIO® HONORS LAW ENFORCEMENT AT “CITIZENS APPRECIATE STATE TROOPERS” AWARDS EVENT FRIDAY, JULY 27 – 11:00AM MTN GOVERNOR’S RESIDENCE AT THE BOETTCHER MANSION
July 26, 2018
Steve Bock of Subsentio presents the Citizens Appreciate Troopers Award
“Colorado State Troopers are renowned for their courage, quick thinking and action in situations where lives are at stake,” said Subsentio CEO and Founder Steve Bock. “It is an honor to recognize their valor and pay tribute to this year’s winners of the C.A.S.T. Award.”
Bock will join hosts Chief Matt Packard, Deputy Chief Mark Savage and members of the C.A.S.T. Board of Directors at the Colorado Governor’s mansion in presenting awards to the following six members of the Colorado State Patrol:
- Sergeant Matthew Beaudin and Trooper Wesley Kartus. While investigating the theft of an automobile in a residential neighborhood, Troopers Beaudin and Kartus, together with detectives from two other law enforcement agencies, cornered the thief and ordered him to the ground. The suspect wheeled, pulled a 9mm pistol and began firing. Troopers Beaudin and Kartus quickly drew their weapons and returned fire, preventing potential lethal harm to area residents. For their heroic actions, Troopers Beaudin and Kardus were awarded the Medal of Valor.
- Trooper John Stark. Responding to a report of a drunken driver, Officer Stark pulled the man over, and immediately found himself face-to-face with the driver’s handgun. Stark quickly stepped back, drew his own weapon and fired, hitting the man twice. The driver then jumped into his truck and fled – so fast that he lost control, struck the raised median strip, and flew to the opposite side of the highway. As Officer Stark approached the drunken driver once again, the man this time threw his vehicle into reverse to run him over. Shotgun in hand, Stark fired and brought the man’s life-threatening behavior – a menace to all on the road – to an end. For his courage and cool-headed action under mortal threat, Officer Stark was awarded the Medal of Valor.
- Trooper Charles Jones. When a suspect in two recent Arizona murders crossed his path, Trooper Jones recognized the vehicle and took up the pursuit. At the sight of flashing police lights, the suspect hit the accelerator and crossed over the median strip straight into oncoming traffic. Jones executed a tactical vehicle intervention (TVI) maneuver to stop and cuff him. Interrogation revealed that the man had been en route to kill his ex-girlfriend when apprehended. Ballistics tests of a weapon found in his car proved he was indeed the Arizona murderer. For bringing this extremely dangerous felon into custody, Trooper Jones was honored with the Distinguished Service Award.
- Troopers Kristopher Kuba and Jordan Tinajera. First came the crash, then the real-life bumper-car ride of a vehicle rolling end-over-end into rushing water. Next thing he knew, the senior citizen involved in this accident found himself floating downstream. First on the scene at Clear Creek that frigid day in November 2017 was Trooper Tinajera, who quickly tied two rescue ropes to the guardrail and moved down the icy bank. Trooper Kuba arrived next, and with the help of a passerby they lifted the elderly driver out of the water so emergency crews could winch him up the bank to a waiting ambulance. With a core body temperature of just 78 degrees, the oldster was not expected to live. But when Trooper Tinajera followed up at the local hospital the next day, he was amazed to find the man sitting up in his ICU bed and talking. For their life- saving actions, Troopers Tinajera and Kuba received the Life Saving Award.
