Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The purpose of this project is to upgrade the interoperable communications for Lee County Sheriffs Office in Lee County, Alabama.
This includes the expansion of the existing Alabama Interoperable Radio Systems (hereafter referred to as AIRS) into Lee County, Alabama through upgrading existing infrastructure and building new infrastructure.
The primary activities include installing repeaters in two locations, performing channel modifications at two other existing RF sites for connectivity, installing consoles for emergency dispatch, and issuing portable radios to Lee County Sheriffs Office deputies.
The Lee County Sheriffs Office will also have vendors install three Infinity microwave hops, install one new shelter building with power and a backup generator, and install a fence around one repeater site.
The expected outcome is better communication capabilities throughout Lee County, Alabama, as well as inter-communication capabilities with surrounding agencies.
This will improve the function of the criminal justice system, the combating of juvenile delinquency, and assist victims of crime in Lee County.
It will also advance effective, accountable policing and enhance public trust and public safety within the service area of Lee County, Alabama.
The beneficiaries of this expansion will be the Lee County Sheriffs Office, adjoining agencies such as Opelika Police Department, Auburn Police Department and Auburn University Police, as well as the citizens of Lee County who depend on Lee County Sheriffs Office as their primary crime prevention and emergency response office.
Birmingham and Madison County AIRS communication network in Zone 4 will benefit from this expansion as it will extend Zone 4 area coverage.
