Board approves purchase of patrol vehicle computers and 911 equipment, plans CAD integration
Summary
The committee agreed to procure Telerad systems and a CAD‑integrated solution for three sheriff patrol vehicles and 911 for $26,006.84; staff said funding will come through 911 and highlighted improved AVL/CAD response capabilities.
County staff presented an RFP response to equip three sheriff patrol vehicles and the 911 center with Telerad systems and a CAD interface at a cost of $26,006.84. The chair explained the procurement would put patrol cars on a CAD interface similar to what state police and the city have and noted the funding route through the county's 911 account.
The county prosecutor praised the investment as improving officer confidence and efficiency on the road, saying it would bring officers "into the 21st century" by reducing time spent on paperwork. Staff also noted ongoing AVL/CAD integration work to better locate units for dispatch, which the prosecutor and other members said will improve response coordination. The board approved the procurement by consensus and asked staff to proceed with implementation and integration planning.
