Glenn Neal, Locution Systems President, Founder & Chief Technology Officer

Glenn Neal, the founder and president of Locution Systems, Inc., is, quite literally, a pioneer in the development of public safety alerting technology. In the mid 1980s, he was instrumental in developing an e-911 system for the city of Las Vegas, which was the beginning of a national trend to link addresses with incoming 911 calls. Since then, Mr. Neal has worked for years to develop an automated dispatching/fire station alerting system which now is the most sophisticated and versatile fire station alerting system available today.

As president of Locution Systems, Inc., Mr. Neal is responsible for overall company management, and for the continuing research-and-development efforts in support of Locution Systems’ suite of public safety dispatching and fire station alerting systems.

Prior to founding Locution Systems in 1993, Neal developed public safety alerting systems under his first company, GCN Electronics, Inc., which was formed in 1986. He operated this company and conducted research-and-development activities as an independent technical consultant, while also working as a full-time engineer.

From 1987-1993, Neal served as a design engineer for Tektronix/Colorado Data Systems. In this role, he designed automated test equipment and was one of the authors of the VXI bus specification, which ultimately became a communications standard for the instrument testing community. From 1981-1987, Neal worked as a digital design engineer for EG&G – where he supervised the development of a digital communication network for a high-profile defense project.

Neal earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the University of Nevada, in Las Vegas, in 1981. In his spare time, Neal pursues a love of music through songwriting, playing acoustic guitar, and following the offerings of rock and jazz musicians.
