Milford's new radio system for the Police and Fire departments will cost $3.5 million, but Milford Chief of Police Keith Mello believes the system "saves the taxpayers a considerable amount of money down the road."
Approved by the Milford Board of Aldermen back in February 2010, the new Milford Police radio system will be an upgrade from their current setup, which is omore than 20 years old and, according to Milford Chief of Police Keith Mello, "at the end of its life cycle and is no longer serviceable by Motorola." New Radio Towers While planning for this new radio project, Mello noted that the department was surprised to learn that the Police and Fire departments have separate radio infrastructures. "This meant that the Police and Fire used separate towers in many locations for their antennas, repeaters and microwave links," Chief Mello explained.

Do news organizations that publish 911 call audio help or harm the communities they serve?
The initial shockwave that swept through Fairfield County last week after the Ramsey family tragedy changed to disgust following the decision of area news outlets to publish the graphic 911 recording, during which Mrs. Ramsey told the dispatcher that her husband was lying dead “in a pool of blood.” Patch received access to the tape but did not publish a link to it. As an American writer who considers the First Amendment our most cherished right, I believe that making 911 tapes available to the public is essential to community safety; however, are we not also human beings? Did the tape need to be released so soon after Mr. Ramsey’s tragic demise? And how—if at all—did the tape’s release advance the public’s understanding of this heinous …

David, unfortunately MPD has been digital and encrypted for quite a while now. I doubt they will make the move to get back in the clear. It would be nice to listen and hear all the action but there is New Haven, West Haven, and Startford to listen to. I also monitor NYPD when conditions are favorable too. Anyway, since the subscriber units (portables/mobiles) are already digital/encryption … more ›
