Florissant Gets New Police, Public Works Radio System

Mayor Thomas P. Schneider and Chief Timothy Lowery have announce that the City of Florissant will soon be activating a new Police\Public Works digital radio system.

The current communication system is aging but is scheduled to be replaced by a new state-of-the-art system at the end of this month. Funding for the new system was provided as a result of a county-wide vote on an E-911 tax that was passed in November of 2009.

All portable and car radios will be replaced as well as all of the radio equipment in the dispatch center located at the Florissant Police Department.

This new system will allow officers the capability of contacting other law enforcement agencies, fire, EMS, etc., directly instead the current procedure of communication personnel relaying the information.
