Local law enforcement receives radio donation from Ohio State Hi - Hometownstations.com-WLIO- Lima, OH News Weather Sports
The article reads :
"The Ohio State Highway Patrol donated 32 radios to local law enforcement. The highway patrol upgraded their radio services, and donated their radios that were no longer compatible to the Lima Police Department and Allen County Sheriff's Office.
Lieutenant Colonel Kevin Teaford says the radios are compatible with all law enforcement in the area and range statewide. Teaford says good communication is crucial for safety, referencing how difficult it was working with low quality radios when he first became a trooper. "You're lucky if you had a scanner in your car, you could hear other officers talking and you might just be across, around a block, so what these radios communications will mean for this community is our troopers will be able to communicate directly with the sheriff's deputies and the police officers, and that's a huge officer safety, if there's a call for help they're going to know about it, we're going to know about it."
Teaford says each radio costs more than four thousand dollars."
