Baldwin Park : New Radio System for Police
The city’s asset-seizure fund--money seized from drug dealers and forfeited to the city--will pay for a new $271,899 police-radio system in Baldwin Park.
Motorola Communications will replace the antiquated system the city’s police officers now use with a state-of-the-art UHF system. The current VHF system has a limited reception range and transmission quality.
Also, there are some areas of the city where officers calling on their radios cannot always be heard by the dispatcher, which creates a safety problem, officials said.
The City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to replace the system.
