“Carroll County awarded $597,000 grant to enhance police communication”

Westminster, Carroll County, Maryland, December 24, 2009 ---- Sheriff Kenneth L. Tregoning is pleased to announce that Carroll County Law Enforcement has been awarded a $597,440 Justice Assistance Grant from the Governor’s Office of Crime Control & Prevention (GOCCP). The grant will be used to purchase in-car computers and software to complete a data communications system linking Carroll’s seven law enforcement agencies to a shared computer records system in the County 911 Center and the regional wireless emergency communications network “CapWIN”, (Capitol Area Wireless Integrated Network).

Facilitated by the Sheriff’s Office, this grant award will fund the final phase of a $2.5 million, four year joint communications enhancement initiative led by the County’s local law enforcement executives and the County’s departments of Public Safety, and Technology Services. Individually, each of the county’s law enforcement agencies have been using various grant and seized drug monies to incrementally purchase in-car computer’s for the past several years. This has allowed limited use of CapWIN to provide a real-time communications bridge between law enforcement officers and other first responders, locally and regionally.

This past spring, the Westminster Police Department utilized a Bureau of Justice Administration Formula Grant in collaboration with a Carroll County Office of Public Safety Support Services and Sheriff’s Office Homeland Security Grant to purchase several base components of the Records Management System (RMS). The Carroll County Department of Technology Services is also using those funds to expand in-station, desktop access to the new RMS into the Hampstead, Manchester, Sykesville and Taneytown Police Departments across the Carroll County Public Network’s fiber optic net.

The shared system, including links to the Maryland State Police Westminster Barrack and the Law Enforcement National Data Exchange operated by the FBI is planned to be fully operational by summer 2010.
