Enhanced Communications Equipment |
|
| Amount Requested: $125,000 |
|
| This project will supply new communication equipment to the Coventry Police Department while helping to alleviate the tax burden on residents. Federal funds will be matched by the Town of Coventry and will be used to purchase portable radios, mobile radios for police vehicles, and to upgrade the dispatch console. It will directly impact and improve Coventry PD’s ability to respond to the needs of residents and the state of Rhode Island. The ability to communicate is one of the most important tools a public safety official possesses, and seeing it compromised could mean the difference between life and death for a citizen or a first responder. |
