At times, <br />these duties require investigators to travel outside the city limits. Due <br />to the limited range of reception of the radios currently used, <br />investigators often lose radio communication with one another. The <br />Motorola XTL5000 mobile radios will enhance the investigators' ability to <br />maintain radio communication with dispatch and each other while conducting <br />investigations that involve statewide travel. <br />The County of Orange recently renewed the contract with Motorola for the <br />operational requirements established by the 800 MHz Countywide Coordinated <br />Communications System (800 MHz CCCS) The 800 MHz CCCS radio system <br />provides effective and reliable radio communication to participating law <br />enforcement, fire services, EMS and disaster preparedness agencies. In <br />order to maintain the integrity of the communications system, staff <br />recommends Council approval of the recommended action. Along with the <br />funds to purchase eight radios, an additional contingency amount has been <br />added to allow for unanticipated purchases. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund <br />Operating Materials & Supplies account (account no. 128-349-6391). <br />Paul M.
