Erie County’s $26.5 million investment in its Next Generation Radio Project will be ready for full implementation within the next three months. That’s according to County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper, who told Joel Natalie on TalkErie.com that each public safety jurisdiction across the county already has their radios in hand.
Dahlkemper said, “it will go live here in the first quarter of this year. And we’ve already got pretty much all of the infrastructure done. The radios and the handhelds and the portables are all in the hands of our public safety personnel. It’s just a matter of testing, what they call ‘burning in’, and testing the system, and then it will go live.”
The system will allow all emergency personnel from different agencies to communicate on shared frequencies at the scene of any incident.
