Renovation of a fire / police facility in Kerrville, Texas. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a fire / police facility.

Kerrville Police Department Communications Center is the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for all Kerr County; with EMS services being available county wide. Many operational challenges include: no ability to separate radio traffic during emergency events, special operations, or general daily operations, limited communications to the geographic capability of our single tower system, daily dropped or garbled transmissions, poor or no communication within large structures, dispatch operation and role assignments are limited and antiquated. These challenges all present serious public safety issues. This project will capture all expenditures related to implementing a new single site - 6 channel, 700 MHz trunked system to include: replacement of single-band radios (KPD and KFD): 86 in car radios, 150 portable radios, upgrade of all dispatch consoles to provide new features to improve response times, microwave link for increased resiliency, radios with newer technology and better audio quality. This project is included in the city's Fiscal Years 2023-2032 Capital Improvement Program. As of October 25, 2023, further details regarding design and construction timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
