CITY OF SAN BERN aDINO - REQUEST F.oR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The City has recently purchased mobile data terminals for its Police
units . FCC regulations have been established that may require the City
to upgrade its communications system via an 800 Mhz trunked system in
the future .
Larry Martin of M. I .S . is currently responsible for all computer related
communications in the City. Larry has also been designated as a
technical resource in the MDT Project which includes understanding
and supporting radio communications .
Principles and Applications of High Frequency Radio Communications is
a comprehensive , highly technical class to be held in Fairfax , Virginia ,
March 29 through April 1 . It is offered at the Professional Development
Center of the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association
Educational Foundation. The course gives emphasis to high frequency
radio communication principles in support of law enforcement agencies.
Classes of such a unique and complex subject matter are not offered as
frequently as less unique classes . They are also less likely to be
held in a location convenient to every state.
Larry is expected to receive training at this class that will be of
great value to the support of the City' s Public Safety Communications
environment.
Larry has agreed to supplement City funds with personal funds resulting
in a savings to the City of $882 .00.
