The florence police department (FPD) proposes to implement the public safety dispatch center project

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) awarded a $1,230,000 Project Grant under the Congressionally Recommended Awards program (CFDA 16.753) to the Town of Florence, AZ to implement the Public Safety Dispatch Center Project. The purpose is to improve interoperable communications between the public safety dispatch center and public safety agencies operating within the incorporated limits of Florence, Arizona.

Project activities include the procurement of mobile data computers, portable and mobile radios, body worn cameras, workforce management software, and furnishings to directly support the dispatch center with the latest communications technology. Expected outcomes include the ability of the Florence Police Department to participate in the Pinal County P25 public safety communications system, decreased equipment downtime, reduced call response times, and increased training levels for dispatch center personnel. The project performance period is from Oct 1, 2024 to Sep 30, 2028.
