Approve Funding of "Patrol Enhancement Project" through BJA FY 09 Recovery Act Edward Byrne Memorial
Justice Assistance Grant Program Local Solicitation (JAG-Recovery)

Solicitation (JAG-Recovery) to reflect increased revenue in the amount of
$584,165 which will be utilized to purchase 161 portable radios, 4 law
enforcement vehicles, and computer software licensing.
Background:Mobile communications technology has changed over the past twelve years,
and a majority of the currently-used portable radios were purchased either
before 1996 or shortly after. In an effort to transition from an older
technology to the latest, the RCSO began purchasing portable radios for
some divisions last year. The Richmond County Sheriff's Office (RCSO)
proposes to purchase 161 portable radio devices. The purchase of these 161
radios will complete the transition from the older radios to the latest
technology. The RCSO proposes to purchase four (4) additional law
enforcement vehicles. As the RCSO fleet is becoming older and more
difficult to be replaced due to current budget constraints, the use of this
available funding will allow for the unencumbered purchase of four
vehicles.The RCSO proposes to purchase software licensing for a field
reporting module available to the Uniformed Division. As part of the current
Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) technology program well under way at the
RCSO, this accident-reporting software use will further enhance the
professional operations of the agency. As the software purchase has already
been made, additional licensing for each MDT is all that is now required.
