purchase of new radio equipment.
The sheriff's office had
applied for the funds earlier this
year.
Sheriff John Robinson said
the amount granted included
money for everything he had
asked for except the portable
radio units.
The funds will be used to put
the sheriff's radio system on high
band operation instead of the
present low band operation.
Robinson said the new radio
system will allow better coverage
of the county and will eliminate a
lot of the interference problems
which are encountered now.
It will also, he said, give him
communications with additional
law enforcement agencies.
The county, under the grant,
will have to put up $17,000, part
of which will come in the
construction of a building to
house the new radio equipment.
Robinson estimated it would
take about six months to get the
new equipment installed and in
operation.
