Description/History
The Tri-County Auto Theft operates within Johnson, Ellis, and Tarrant counties. These counties have remote rural areas where radio service is sporadic or non-existent. To protect the Taskforce Officers, we request permission to spend $57,000.00 from the Taskforce program income for new Motorola radios. These radios can switch to cellular service when regular radio service is no longer working. New radios will allow Taskforce officers to contact dispatch at all times, no matter where they are in the county.
Justification

Funding Source
Funds from the Taskforce program income will be utilized to purchase the new radios. The use of program income funds has been approved by the Taskforce presiding board members and the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority.
