Palm Beach Gardens Police Department is constantly striving to improve
upon their delivery of law enforcement services to the city’s citizens.
One project that stands out as innovative and supports the Department's
commitment in their efforts to continue to be a progressive agency
involves updating an outdated
communication system. Law enforcement agencies in Palm Beach County have
been plagued with having to use inefficient, outdated dispatch
communications equipment. Palm Beach Gardens Police Department, in its
effort to improve communication with interacting agencies, has joined
the Municipal Public Safety Communications Consortium (MPSCC) of Palm
Beach County, Inc. Formed eight years ago through the cooperative
efforts of local municipalities, MPSCC is responsible for planning and
implementation of an interoperable, countywide public safety radio
communications system.
The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department
is tasked with project management, and lead agency for all technical
issues and implementation. When fully completed, expected in 2008, the
Intergovernmental Communications Plan (ICP) will allow eleven (11)
current participating local municipalities to communicate statewide via
an adaptable and expandable radio network.
Interoperable radio communications are
especially critical today and have become a major national and local
security issue. Palm Beach Gardens Police Department is proud to be a
leader in bringing this technology to employees, citizens and neighbors.
