Information Technology This month the department audited the air cards, radios and mobile data terminals MDT). All but 4 officers on the department are now using the new MDT' s and the ones that don' t have the new system yet will be receiving one that has been recently received. We were able to get a quote and plan to replace 11 radios while using the trade in program that is currently being offered to the State of Indiana. The offer will reduce the total cost by close to $4000. We are still in the process of reviewing air card accounts but it appears as if every air card is currently assigned to an active user.
