Police Communications Agreement with the City of Hyattsville and City of Mount Rainier
end
Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move that Mayor and Council authorize the City Administrator to execute an agreement with the City of Mt. Rainier which allows the Hyattsville Police Department to provide radio dispatching services and incoming calls for police services (both emergency and non-emergency). This agreement is for a term of one (1) year.
end
Summary Background:
The Mount Rainier Police Department does not have the resources to provide law enforcement dispatching services to its officers. In response, the City of Hyattsville has contracted with them to provide these services for the past few years. The City would like to continue assisting by entering into an agreement to provide radio dispatching support when calls for service from the residents of Mount Rainier or incidents in their municipality occur.
Next Steps:
Execute Agreement
Fiscal Impact:
The City of Mt. Rainier will allocate $90,000 annually to the City of Hyattsville for dispatching services.
