Farmington Hills Police Chief Jeff King said that his confidence in a new countywide radio system is high, and that there have already been benefits.
“It’s delivered so far on all of its promises,” King said. “It has some emergency capability for the officers, in regards to the satellite GPS tracking of officers. Things that our old system never had, this new system has, to where if an officer was to get in trouble and was not able to communicate with us, we would be able to utilize the system as another means to locate that officer.”
Oakland County first responders can now be anywhere in the state and contact their home base or communicate with other agencies through radio with the implementation of the county’s $61 million radio system from Motorola.
