February 4, 2008 WEST CHESTER, OHIO - John Larson, currently President of ESCORT Incorporated, has been named Chief Executive Officer of ESCORT Inc. Larson joined ESCORT in June of 2007 as President after a distinguished 20 year career at General Motors Corporation, including his role as General Manager of Buick, Pontiac and GMC Divisions prior to joining ESCORT.

Greg Blair, currently CEO and co-founder of ESCORT Inc, has taken the position of Chairman on ESCORT's Board.

"Attracting a person of John's talent and skills was a major win for ESCORT," said Greg Blair, ESCORT's Chairman. "His blend of leadership skills, combined with his successful automotive background, has been a great fit with ESCORT."

"It has been a great seven months with ESCORT and I am thrilled to take on the role as CEO," said Larson.

I look forward to playing a prominent role in ESCORT's continued success."

ESCORT has just completed a new state of the art manufacturing facility and is launching a new line of custom installed radar detectors targeted at the automotive dealer market. "I look forward to rolling out our industry leading products to many of the automotive dealers I have come to know over the years. I would enjoy nothing more than watching these friends and former business partners make significant profits selling the new products from ESCORT."
