title
MOTION to authorize the Mayor to submit a COPS Law Enforcement Technology and Equipment Grant in the amount of up-to $240,000 through the Congressionally Directed Spending initiative, to replace the Ledyard Dispatch Emergency Communications CAD/RMS System.
body
Background:
Ledyard is a Multi-Town Emergency Communications Dispatch Service providing 911- Support to both Ledyard and Preston.
The Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management Systems provide public safety agencies with the ability to create and maintain digital records of all department activities and also provide modules for report writing, evidence and property management, prisoner processing and monitory, and crime reporting to state and federal agencies.
The Emergency Communications Dispatch/Police Department CAD/RMS System, administered by Central Square Technologies, is antiquated, outdated, and the company is sunsetting the product in the next two-years. Therefore, the Department needs to invest in an updated CAD.RMS System.
Although the Town Council has included a two-year funding plan as follows: 2025 $45,000; 2026 $89,500 to support the replacement of the CAD/RMS System the Town is seeking financial assistance to minimize the impact on its taxpayers by submitting an Application for a COPS Law Enforcement Technology and Equipment Grant in the amount of up-to $240,000 through the Congressionally Directed Spending initiative.
This Grant Program does not require a local funding match.
The Grant Application Deadline is April 14, 2024
