West Covina joining ICIS?

I heard about this a while back. I was curious to see if they had any updated info regarding it on their website, and what do you know....

update on West Covina/Icis

According to a recent (August 07) posted document from the city of West Covina the city has elected to switch police comms to digital P25 and avoid ICIS due to cost. The document further states that the city may join the future LA county trunked system due to an expected more federal funding for that system. Go here for the document:

Interesting. Torrance opted out of ICIS a while back, now West Covina decides not to go with them either. Unless LA-RICS falls apart, I'd expect ICIS to eventually be merged into it as well. LAPD and FD are fairly committed to helping LA-RICS succeed, so now it's mostly "just" about the money. And turf, which seems a bit less of a deal than it would have been pre 9/11.

Rananthony - I'm getting a dead link on that page. Know where it might be?
