Public safety communications in Washtenaw County  will get a major overhaul 
after voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed an  emergency radio millage that 
many, including its strongest supporters, had  doubts would succeed. 
Roughly 62 percent of voters across the county passed  Proposal A, which will 
raise property taxes by 0.2 mill and generate roughly $32  million over 10 
years to unify the different communications systems used by  emergency 
first-responder agencies.

Installation of a statewide communication  program is already under way. 
Oklahoma received $28 million over the past two  years from the U.S. Department of 
Homeland Security to set up an 800-megahertz  system along the Interstate 44 
corridor where most of the population  lives.

Message-ID: <48d.7c51af.31a45b14@aol.com>

The Pennsylvania State Police's Lancaster  barracks started a new pilot 
program today that will test the new Statewide  Public Safety Radio System and give 
troopers, first responders and local  officials the ability to coordinate 
their safety and response efforts more  effectively and improve public  safety.

Quinn said a specific date to implement the  system statewide has yet to be 
set. After testing, she said, officers and other  officials will need to 
undergo training before the new system can be put into  full use.

"We're going to test it and test it again to make sure it's  working the way 
they want before we implement it statewide," Quinn  said.
