Background of Item:
Police is seeking to procure Kits to equip its Motorcycle Officers to continue to safely
protect and serve the residents of the City. Police's Traffic Enforcement Detail will utilize
these new Kits to replace the existing Kits in order to be compatible to the new radio
system that the Police acquired from Harris Corporation. The Kits are designed for the
officer needing a helmet headset to work with his motor -mounted radio which allows the
user to both transmit and receive audio transmissions. Mobile radio transmissions using
the headset are activated by a handlebar mounted push -to -talk ("PTT") switch. A
second PTT switch at the handlebars allows activation of the motorcycle's siren PA
system. As a result, Officers also have the ability to broadcast from the helmet
microphone to direct traffic without removing their hands from the handlebars. At all
points, the Kits do not require any cables that tether the Officer to the motor. The Kits
are the only product on the market that offers a wireless connection, Bluetooth
connectivity, and pairing with the "truck -mounted" radio in the motorcycles. PVP was the
first to design and release a wireless system that eliminated the cables between the
officer and their motorcycle more than five years ago. Accordingly, the Kits are fully
patent protected under United States Patents 5,790,947; 7,062,301 and 7,203,525.
