Subject:

Discussion and possible action to purchase Digital Portable Radio for the Mental Health Unit from Motorola Solutions, pursuant to Sections 271.101 and 271.102 Subchapter F. Cooperative Purchasing Program HGAC 05-12 in the amount of $6,334.75. [Requested by Martin Cuellar, Sheriff; Account #303-2001-8801 (Capital Outlay Mental Health Law Enforcement)]

Issue: For their safety, the officers of the Mental Health Unit must always maintain access to their portable radios, a critical support, safety, and communication tool. Utilizing this communication tool, these officers of the Mental Health Unit keep in contact with other officers and the radio dispatch center as they undertake their daily duties of dealing with mentally ill and sometimes aggressive/delusional clients.

Solution: Purchase of a grant-funded portable radio so that all officers of the Mental Health Unit may have access to this critical communication, support, and safety tool.

Result: All officers serving in or assisting the Mental Health Unit will have access to needed portable radios.
