The communications center has a total of 4 available work <br />stations which with all radios in operation becomes distracting as to all of the radio traffic. <br />These headsets will allow individual dispatchers to focus more on their responsibilities. Each <br />dispatcher needs a personal headset for hygiene. <br />Two traffic radar units axe being asked far due to mounting maintenance costs on two of our <br />present units. These units are approximately 11 years old and need to be replaced. <br />Fingerprint kits are needed to allow for our patrol officers to do a diligent search for latent prints <br />at crime scenes. <br />Digital cameras are needed for capturing photographic evidence at crime scenes. We have had <br />cameras assigned to patrol units which are dropped, abused and found to be inoperative when the <br />next officer using a patrol vehicle needs a camera. We have found that personally issued <br />equipment is better treated and lasts longer. <br />LAMAR COUNTY, TEXAS, SHERIFF'S OFFICE <br />BUDGET NARRATIVE <br />Amount Requested: The Lamar County, Texas, Sheriff's Office is respectfully requesting <br />$9665.50 of the total funds allocated. <br />71 <br />
