Chief of Police Jeff Kraft gave a report regarding the two mobile radios received as a gift from the Glacier County Sheriff’s Department. Chief Kraft stated they will also be receiving two portable radios shortly as well. Mayor Doug Embody would like a letter of thanks drafted up to be presented to the County for their generous gift. Within the next two months Chief Kraft would like to see the current police radios, both portable and mobile, upgraded. The cost per unit, dependant upon what options and how much we have programmed in, will be approximately $700.00 - $1200.00 per unit. Chief Kraft hopes to use some of the grant money received last August 2009 to fund this upgrade.
