Board approves CJIS‑compliant radio upgrades and Motorola console work
Summary
The county authorized upgrades to central dispatch radios to meet CJIS encryption standards and approved a Motorola console upgrade funded from the 911 millage; commissioners said the work avoids a more costly full radio replacement.
The Lapeer County Board approved upgrades to central dispatch systems and several vehicle policies during its July 24 meeting.
Commissioners moved to authorize central dispatch to proceed with communications upgrades to meet CJIS encryption standards at an estimated cost cited during discussion as roughly $325,320 to be paid from the 9‑1‑1 millage line, and later approved a Motorola console upgrade at $22,425 from the 9‑1‑1 millage with no additional general‑fund impact. The board characterized the encryption work as a required technical update and said it represented a substantial savings compared with full radio replacement, which commissioners said would have exceeded $2 million.
There was no recorded roll‑call vote on the radio upgrade motion in the transcript beyond voice support; commissioners discussed the budgetary source and the public‑safety necessity of meeting CJIS requirements.
