This program will provide for the phased replacement of voice radio systems used primarily by the County's public safety first responder agencies including Police, Fire and Rescue, Sheriff, Correction and Rehabilitation, the Department of Transportation, and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission that have reached the end of their expected 10-year service life.

In FY25, the following are scheduled to be replaced: 510 units for Fire and Rescue Services; 1,287 units for Police; 84 units for Sheriff; 129 units for M-NCPPC. In FY26, the following are scheduled to be replaced: 111 units for Fire and Rescue Services; 303 units for Police.

The cost increase is mainly due to inflation adjustments, and the addition of two fiscal years to this ongoing project. Additionally, this project includes $148,000 for a pilot program to test 20 non-public safety radios from an alternative manufacturer to determine if they meet the County's needs.
