The funds will be used toward law enforcement efforts and the MetroSafe Communications System. MetroSafe is an organization under the Cabinet for Public Protection that encompasses communications and emergency management in a joint operation. MetroSafe refers to both the project to implement consolidated communications and the on-going operation of the consolidated communications center.
About $3 million of the grant funding will help purchase a computer aided dispatch system for MetroSafe, and the other $1 million will be used to purchase mobile data computers and hand-held computers for law enforcement officers.
