Prescott, AZ. Going P25?

[N467RX]

PRESCOTT VALLEY - A proposed public safety communication system atop Glassford Hill gained approval from the Town Council Thursday.

The council voted 6-0 for a conditional use permit to enable the Police Department to install the regional communications system on an acre that the town leases from the Arizona Land Department. Councilwoman Lora Lee Nye did not attend the meeting.

Police Chief Jim Maxson said the system would help to eliminate "dead spots" where police officers cannot communicate on their police radios with the dispatch center in downtown Prescott.


Maxson said afterward that he does not have a timeframe on installation of the system because he awaits word on a grant application to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

That DHS grant looks suspicious to me, since those grants are normally to get P25 equipment.

It is normally a requirement of all DHS grants to puchase P25 capable equipment.

It does not necessarily mean that the user must use P25.
