| HAMDEN — After decades of bad reception and static, town police could have a new radio dispatch system by the end of summer. |
| "All
the equipment is ordered now. We're looking at Sept. 1 to be up and
running," police Chief Robert Nolan said. The Legislative Council recently approved spending up to $488,000 for a new tower, hookups and equipment and authorized a contract with Hamden-based Utility Communications for that system. "It's going to be a big technology change from what we have," said Sgt. Joseph Murray, head of central communications. Hamden currently uses an antiquated low-band radio dispatch system built in the late 1950s. The signals are too weak to transmit through buildings or reach parts of town near mountains — such as the West Woods neighborhood and Quinnipiac University — or in low areas such as State Street. When officers travel to those "dead spots" they lose touch with central command and can't tell the dispatcher what is happening at the scene. The town bought and installed two additional satellite receivers in 2000 to reduce the dead spots, but officers still struggled with bad reception. The new high-frequency system would penetrate buildings and guarantee coverage in no less than 95 percent of the town, Nolan said. Murray said the new system will allow officers to communicate with other area police departments and school security officers at the high school and middle school. The new system also will have private channels so officers can exchange confidential information about investigations or raids. It will have emergency buttons that officers can press if they need backup. Residents with home scanners would have to reprogram the frequencies to listen to scanner traffic. The tower will serve police but also will strengthen signals for the fire department, which already uses a high-frequency radio system. The system had to be in place by November or Hamden would have lost the available radio frequencies to another department. If that happened, Hamden would have been forced to wait another three years to upgrade its system. Some other communities have switched to digital police radio systems that cost more than $1 million. But Nolan said the high-frequency analog system would perform just as well as a digital system. |
