This system allows all Police, Fire, Public Works, and Marine Safety <br />agencies in Orange County to share a common radio system, yet provides agencies with their own <br />dispatch and tactical channels. Radios are utilized for both emergent and non -emergent radio <br />traffic. Hand-held radios are a critical lifeline for sworn and professional field personnel, for sharing <br />rapidly changing information pertaining to calls for service and for relaying field personnel safety <br />messages. <br />This contract will allow the Police Department to purchase additional radios as police officers <br />complete training and new vehicles are placed into service over the next three-year period. During <br />the 2019-20 fiscal year, the Police Department intends to purchase seven mobile radios, two for <br />Field Operations vehicles, four for MET Team vehicles, and one spare for unanticipated needs. <br />22C-1 <br />
