	City of Orange Township - Public Safety Information Technology Restoration

	Amount Requested: $1,100,000
	Funds would be used for the replacement of the Orange Police Department’s Information Technology infrastructure, and Computer Aided Dispatch/ Records Management System, both of which are in imminent danger of total failure.The City of Orange Township recognizes the need to improve our Public Safety Information Technology Infrastructure. The current technology infrastructure systems that they utilize are outdated and unreliable. They require constant infusions of resources for maintenance and repair just to operate at a minimal level of efficiency. These dollars and staff time would be much better spent on operating and maintaining a new, high quality system. Funding for this project will provide the City of Orange Township with a state of the art Information Technology network (hardware and software) that will: •Promote Public Safety operational efficiency, •Enhance Public Safety communications, dispatch and record management capabilities, •Will give the police department the capability to accurately monitor crime, conduct assessments, devise crime suppression strategies, and assess crime suppression effectiveness, •Support and enhance our enforcement , and investigative capabilities, •As part of our Incident Management and Homeland Security operations under Emergency Management, will provide the City of Orange Township with the ability to efficiently and effectively mitigate unusual incidents, and •As part of our Incident Management and Homeland Security operations under Emergency Management, will provide the City of Orange Township the ability to link to surrounding jurisdictions with the same software, thereby supporting multi-jurisdictional mitigation, coordination, efficiency, and continuity of operations across jurisdictional lines. The funding of this request will facilitate the overall goal of being in compliance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS)
