The full story

The Levelland City Council approved an ARPA-funded situation-based access control and panic-button project on May 5, authorizing the City Manager to proceed with implementation through the Alliance for Community Solutions (ACS). The project will install a base unit at the city's communications center, update access control at the police department, the fire station and City Hall, and expand credentialing so peace officers from any agency can access buildings during an active threat mode.
