The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office is going high tech. They are in the midst of a massive project to upgrade their dispatch offices with new computer assisted radios and call center. The project will cost some $465-thousand dollars. $215-Thousand dollars of the project is being paid for with a grant from the Rutherford County 911 board. The remaining bill is being covered by various county funding sources. Dispatchers are currently working out of a temporary dispactch center while construction is underway.
In addition to the new radios that will eliminate the problem of dead spots among patrol cars in some areas of the county, the patrol cars will be getting GPS tracking devices. The GPS units in each car will allow for dispatch to see exactly where each patrol vehicle is located in real time.
