DISCUSSION The Police Department's electronic communications intercept room (Wire Room) provides the capability to conduct approved telephone intercepts. The Wire Room is one of only a few in Orange County. As such, other municipal and federal agencies also rely on its intercept capability. The Wire Room is currently equipped with the Voice Box III 3.6 software version and equipment. The existing equipment requires extensive repair and is no longer reliable. In order for the Wire Room to remain operational, hardware upgrades are essential. Staff has determined that JSI Telecom is uniquely suited to provide the equipment upgrade and recommends approval of the recommended action. FISCAL IMPACT Funds are available in the Police (account no. 128-355-6641). ~ ~~~ Paul M.
