Board hears $343,000 dispatch‑console estimate as county weighs 9‑1‑1 infrastructure upgrades

A county director described the radio system upgrades staff say are necessary to support recently purchased field radios and to restore lost tracking features. He summarized that the dispatch console — the interface used by 9‑1‑1 operators to manage calls and radio channels — would cost about $343,000 to replace. “The biggest thing, like, right now that I see the dispatch consoles themselves is $343,000. That's basically the interface how they can talk to everybody in the field,” the director said (Director).
