Well as some of you are aware, the move has been made from the "police radio room" to the new Monmouth County Sheriffs Office Public Safety Center. The Sheriffs offices interior side of the building hasn't even gone to bid - not until June or July is what I'm hearing!
The communications side of the building - "CENTRAL-COMM" has been occupied since Monday. Several of the slower desks went on line first, then Tuesday several more desks went live and the 911 lines were all switched over Wednesday and everyone else moved over.
Don't have much to tell you - this is now the largest 911 center in the state. 50 consoles in the comm center, 10 more off of the comm center for training purposes and 2 across the hallway in the O E M war room. Not sure of the layout without looking at one of our cheat sheets - East, West, North, South. Huge TV screen in front of room will be programmed with several of our CAD screens, NJ511 traffic, NJ Transit homeland security cameras at the train stations, and whatever other important stuff they deem necessary. Radio consoles are all ergonomic so the operator can raise or lower them for comfort/visibility. Then there are large screen TVs around the whole dispatch room walls.
Trunked system not up yet. Still working out some bugs with alert tones, etc.on the new ACOM ZETRON system . It is unable to create the warble style tones on the end so everyone has to get pager amplifiers in order to wake up in the middle of the night now (JUST KIDDING about buying amplifiers although it's always an option)!
Ribbon cutting on the 29th for system users.
Emergency Services Day being planned for May with outdoor emergency services equipment on display and "touch a truck" display of County vehicles(I assume)! for the kids. I would imagine tours of the new facility as well!
And that's all the information I have - sorry, no particulars on the trunked system other than what has been posted in the forums. i guess i should correct login to 6901 instead of 6905 - whatever!!!!!!!
