<br />Cass County.. North Dakota <br />Wireless Interoperability Project <br />$796,400 - Category VI: Facilitating Justice Information Sharing <br /> <br />This grant is submitted by Cass County on behalf of the Police, Sheriff and Fire Departments in <br />Cass County, North Dakota. The goal is to provide the bandwith to improve the wireless <br />interoperability for Mobile Data Computers with other Public Safety Ageneies within the Fargo <br />Metropolitan Statistical Area utilizing CAD/RMS. The Fargo MSA consists of Cass County, <br />North Dakota and Clay County, Minnesota with a combined 2000 census of 190,000. <br /> <br />We currently utilize Mobile functionality from Bio-key in patrol and mobile units, but it has <br />limited capabilities due to bandwidth and other restrictions. This project will provide the <br />bandwith and other advances in wireless communication technologies which will create <br />unparalleled on-the-fly mobile information availability. It will also enhance our ability to <br />connect with the National Data Exchange. <br /> <br />This project will allow us to deliver the most current, accurate, and complete information to <br />officers in the field to make them as effective as possible. It will provide officers access to <br />photographs of suspects, Amber Alert photos, and visual identification of undocumented <br />individuals. By increasing the amount of data transmitted through the CAD/RMS to our MDC it <br />will decrease the amount of voice radio traffic, and provide greater efficiency in dispatch <br />operations. Seamless data transfer between police, courts, and other agencies will eliminate <br />redundant data entry. <br />
