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 and is an integral part of the City's Gang Task Force efforts with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI). As such, other municipal and federal agencies also rely on its
intercept capabilities. The Wire Room is currently equipped with the Voice Box III 3.6 software
version and equipment. On August 3, 2009 City Council awarded a contract to JSI Telecom for
the upgrade of equipment to the intercept room. In order for the Wire Room to remain
operational, hardware upgrades are essential to ensure effective on-going use and maintain the
level of standard.
Funds from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will be used to upgrade the equipment in
the wire room to conduct approved telephone intercepts. This project will enhance the Police
Department's performance as well as local municipal and federal agencies.
