$121M needed to upgrade the system

wow ... if the system last 10 years ... that is $12M each year which

History of the Network

" The CoMIRS radio network originated with the Metropolitan District
Commission (MDC) Police 3-site 800 MHz simulcast trunk network
originally installed in 1987. After State Police consolidation in
1992, a strategic decision was made to expand the regional 800 MHz
analog system to be a statewide radio network. That expanded network
covered approximately 75% of the state using 49 radio tower sites. "
