ENCLOSURES.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully requested that a Resolution authorizing the
purchase of a telephone coupler, at a cost of $14,500, funding
therefor from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, Project No. 690001,
Index Code 029002-247, be approved.
++ The Police Department Communications Unit receives incoming calls
from a variety of sources for a variety of purposes. In an
effort to capture more information from various operations and to
assist in investigations, the Unit is expanding its recording
capabilities. The FCC requires that a beep tone be placed on all
recorded lines. A telephone coupler provides both the beep tone
and electronic isolation between the recorder and the telephone
line. State-of-the-art couplers are now available that have no
j moving parts and are quite reliable. These telephone recordings
are frequently used in court proceedings, either in civil or
M criminal cases.
