Summary

Staff requested and the board approved a budget transfer and amendment of $618,000 to replace end‑of‑life radios and mobile data terminals for campus police to ensure compatibility with the new 911 center and interoperability with county public safety partners.

The board approved a budget transfer and amendment totaling $618,000 to replace aging campus police radios and mobile data terminals (MDTs).

District staff told the board the current radios and MDTs are near end of life, will not be compatible with the district’s new 911 center and would become costly to maintain. Staff said the replacement will provide interoperability with county public safety partners — fire, EMS, police and emergency management — and allow officers to receive dispatches directly on MDTs, improving access to real‑time information during responses.

Staff confirmed training for officers on the new equipment will be required and that training costs are included in the $618,000 request. The board moved, seconded and approved the transfer and amendment by voice vote.
