COPS Monitoring Partners With RelyOn to Bring AI-Powered Mobile Safety to U.S. Companies

COPS Monitoring and RelyOn formed a strategic partnership that brings AI-powered mobile personal safety to the U.S. security company channel. The partnership expands professional monitoring beyond fixed locations, enabling security companies to deliver protection that follows their customers wherever life takes them. RelyOn’s AI-driven personal safety platform combines real-time location awareness, proactive threat detection and intelligent safety features with 24/7 professional monitoring through COPS’ Five Diamond-certified central stations.

“This partnership creates a powerful new revenue opportunity for our companies,” said Jim McMullen, president and chief operating officer, COPS Monitoring. “We believe most companies will be able to position this as a natural add-on to their existing security or fire monitoring accounts, while also offering it as a standalone, mobile-first safety solution. In either case, it generates incremental recurring monthly revenue without equipment, installations or truck rolls. The family-based pricing model makes it easy to scale within a household and expand overall account value.”

RelyOn’s platform requires no hardware, no installation and no inventory.

“COPS’ wholesale, company-focused model aligns perfectly with our channel strategy,” said Lee Sharir-Dolev, CEO, RelyOn. “Together, we are giving security companies immediate access to proven AI-powered safety technology that is already generating recurring revenue globally. This partnership removes friction and accelerates time to market.”
