The Allen County Sheriff’s Department will soon have body cameras and new GPS-tracked handheld radios to increase officers’ safety after County Council on Wednesday approved the purchase for nearly $2.5
The radios can track a firefighter's location. If the radio signal is weak, which can happen in large brick buildings or elevator shafts, the new models can use Wi-Fi or cell signals.
The city will spend $1.3 million of federal COVID-19 pandemic relief funding on a new tower for public safety and municipal service radio communications.
