BRIDGEWATER ? A New Brunswick company secured a $12,900 deal to replace the municipal police department?s radio and telephone call recording system.
Captura Communications was awarded the project during a recent town council meeting. Five companies filed bids for the job.
?This particular piece of equipment was in need of update. It was about to become obsolete,? Bridgewater Police Chief John Collyer told the meeting.
Aging hardware and non-compatibility with computer operating systems above Windows XP is behind the reason for replacing the department?s current call recording dictaphone system, indicates the request for proposals document referring to the work.
Along with operating system requirements, the replacement gear will be able to record the police department?s encrypted and unencrypted radio traffic via the province?s trunked mobile radio systems and the department?s analog and digital telephone systems.
Chief Collyer said there?s a legal requirement to provide copies of all phone and radio transmissions for court disclosure purposes.
The new equipment is also expected to be able to record phone calls made over broadband internet connection, called voice-over internet protocol technology, should that upgrade take place within the next couple of years.
Staff technicians in a dispatch centre located within the Exhibition Drive police station provide both radio and telephone communication. The department has about 10 civilian staffers and about two dozen officers.
