Randolph County Commission Approves The Purchase Of 911 Radios

In a major purchase toward an upgraded 911 system, the Randolph County Commission voted to buy new radios for each emergency management agency. Eastern District Commissioner John Tracy…

The vote was 2-0 with Presiding Commissioner John Truesdell absent. Tracy said Truesdell told his colleagues on the Commission to proceed with the vote while he was away. Tracy said the Commission had three proposals to consider.

Tracy said federal ARPA funds will cover the just-over three-million dollar price tag for the new radios. You can hear the full interview with Tracy on our Newsmaker program this Saturday on KWIX and KRES at 7:45am.

Earlier this summer, the Commission approved giving 50 thousand dollars in American relief funds to each community in the county.
