DATE~ AUG. 19, 1993
TO:: s'r ø JOSEPH CITY COUNCIL
FROI'1 :: CHIEF Ln"'¡DGRE¡"'¡
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR RADAR UNIT
DEAR COUNCIL MEMBERS,
I AM REQUESTING THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVE A CAPITAL
UUTL¡::¡Y ITEM FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THE ITEM IS A NEW
RADAR UNIT TO REPLACE THE OLD DECATUR UNIT WE ARE CURRENTLY
U8IHG. THE POLICE DEPAR'fMENT CURRENTLY HAS OVER $7,800 IN
C¡::¡PIT¡:=jL OUTU':¡Y, AND A NEW RADAR UNIT IS $2,000.00.
THE REASON FOR THIS REQUEST IS AS FOLLOWS. THIS I:;:¡':-I:OAF~
UNIT IS THE OLD ONE IN THE CHEV. SQUAD CAR WHEN I FIRST
STARTED WORKING HERE. CURRENTLY IT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY~
. IT WON'T PICK UP SOME SPEEDS, THE RANGE IS VERY LIMITED, nl···iD
If GIVES FALSE READINGS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OCCASIONS I,
AND THE OTHER OFFICERS WILL NOT WRITE CITATIONS, Of:: E (.,IE t,¡ ¡::'ULL.
()lJEFo: lJEH I CLF::;, B~CAUSE OF THE RADAR, AND HOW IT IS WORKING. I
DO NOT WANT TO PUT THE TIME nND MONEY TO FIX THE UNIT,
BECAUSE EVEN WHEN IT IS WORKING THE RANGE IS VERY LIMITED,
AND IT DOESN~T ALWAYS PICK UP AT LOW SPEEDS~ UI-~DEf:: 30 N. P. H.
OFTEN TIMES WHEN IT WOULD PICK UP SPEEDS, IT l,JOULD COF1BIHE
THE TARGET SPEED AND PATROL SPEED, nND DISPLAY ONE TOTAL HI
THE PATROL SCREEN.
ADDITIm~ALLY , THIS UNIT DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO
TRACK THE TARGET VEHICLE AFTER IT IS LOCKED IN AS OUR OTHER
RI~ID(·:m UNIT DOES. THE OTHEr:: UNIT (PfW 1000) H¡::1S THfŒE
SC¡:;:EENS, PfC}TFo:OL, TARGET, í~I'-ID LOCK" AFTER THE VEHICLE IC'
. ~")
LOCKED IN, IT TRACKS THE VEHICLE IN TARGET SCREEN. WE Cí-:¡t,
I~~ELOCI<' IF THE VEHICLE SPEEDS UP, AND DON'T LOOSE THE SPEED IF
THERE IS A FUZZ BUSTER AND THE VEHICLE QUICKLY SLOWS DOWN.
í~DD I T I OI'-li~LL y:, THIS THIRD WINDOW HELPS ALLOW US TO C()NFIRM WE
ARE ON THE RIGHT VEHICLE nFTER IT IS LOCKED IN.
THE UNIT I WANT TO PURCHASE IS THE PRO 1000, fC} ~3 IS OUF<
OTI-IEI:;: Ut,¡ IT. I HAVE CHECKED ON PRICES, AND IT LISTS FOR OVER
$2,300.00 AND I CAN GET A NEW ONE FOR $1,995.00 ( P R 0i'1 0 T I 01,1) "
TRADE IN ON THE DECATUR IS ONLY $50.00, í-~t'¡D I ilJOUl..D
SUGGEST WE KEEP IT IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY AND WE HAVE
TO SEND IN ONE OF THE PRO 1000'S FOR SERVICE, (USUAl..L Y O'.JEF: ¡::¡
. MONTH FOR SERVICE), OR SELL IT OUTRIGHT IN THE LEAGUE BOOK,
OR WHERE EVER ELSE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
