Computers approved for Henry County code enforcement

The Henry County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution authorizing the police department to use the Narcotic Justice Account Funds to purchase eight Panasonic Tough Book laptop computers and accessories for the Code Enforcement Division in the amount of $34,222 from the CDW Government Contract. Prior to this approval, the Code Enforcement Division did not have laptop computers for their officers to complete investigation reports while in the field, and presently have to hand-write reports once back in the office.

Henry County Police Captain Phillip Bratton said that having laptop computers mounted into the vehicles will increase the overall efficiency in the field and will give code enforcement officers the same field reporting capabilities as the Uniform Patrol Division officers.
