A $1.5 million mobile communications/command vehicle for E911, fire, police and sheriff’s office will be purchased by Cobb County.
The Cobb County Board of Commissioners voted recently to buy the vehicle from Frontline Communications as a replacement.
The current 2001 vehicle has outdated technology and limited ability “to support large incidents,” Cobb Public Safety Director Sam Heaton told the commissioners.
Full payment will be made upfront to save nearly $55,000, he added of the vehicle that will be maintained and staffed by Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services.
Funding will come from the 2016 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax.
