I have a funny feeling that "date" is very optimistic & highly inaccurate ,judging from the trouble they are having with tremendous communications failures observed in the limited use roll out of equipment thus far . 911 center has been making alot of phone calls due to ambulances not being able to do med patch ,people not being able to communicate directly on old or new systems , we have had two structure fires with absolutely no comms ,chiefs had to radio to county ,county then had to radio to the Jake's and vice versa ,the fireground repeater didnt work nor did radio to radio function (you have to get the idea theres a big problem when you cant be heard on another radio 20 feet away simplex) i dont know what kind of BS the county is handing out to men or officers but i would not be standing down when lives are on the line (they may be firefighters ,but needing to send smoke signals is ridiculous !) When your primary radio system and backup system fail at the same time ,because your blowing 30 million for the privledge of not communicating ,that radio salesman is going to have an A$$ chewing.Locally here in west county, radio installations not complete at fire dept, some radios installed minus face plates, no base unit or siren controller yet. Installers saying probably 4 more months til operational. Which confirms the paper saying end of Q2 this year!
I hope the administration has answers ready for the inquiries , the Senate has started an investigation into the 800 million dollars dumped in the last abortion radio system ,who authorized it ,and why ,it didn't do anything for public safety or officer safety and I distinctly remeber the only other suckers dupped into "open sky" telling PSP don't go there, it doesnt work ,it never will its a mony pit (its a b.o.a.t, a hole in the water you throw money into ,Bust Out Another Thousand would have been cheap compared to nealy 1 billion ) our roads ,bridges and infrastructer is crumbling around us but blowing money on radio systems is fine.
Can you imagine what our school system could have done with billion $ ,instead we have a pile of scrap electronics that will never be worth the money wasted.
