Three Oaks authorizes participation in county CAD system; first-year cost covered
Summary
Council approved joining the County CAD system and authorized President Steve Graziano to sign agreements; Chief Krause said the county will cover first-year costs up to $8,000 per agency and estimated ongoing costs of $600–$700 per user per year.
The Village Council approved Resolution #12-2025-02 authorizing Three Oaks to participate in the County Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system and authorized Village President Steve Graziano to sign related agreements. The motion passed unanimously with Hinman absent.
Chief Krause told council the County is covering the first-year costs—up to $8,000 per agency—and that the benefits include visibility of who is on duty, detailed call notes, and awareness of calls occurring in the village when local officers are off duty. Chief Krause also estimated future costs of about $600–$700 per user per year.
Why it matters: Joining a shared CAD system can improve dispatch information and interagency coordination; council accepted the first-year funding arrangement but noted potential future per-user costs that will affect departmental budgets.
