Duluth has received approval from the Gwinnett County 911 Advisory Committee to enter into a lease/purchase agreement with Motorola Solutions, Inc. for the purchase of a dispatch console system for the Duluth Police Department that will be reimbursed by the 911 Advisory Committee.

Reimbursement is received based on an annual budget request and quarterly submittal of actual expenditures. Budget requests are submitted in July of each year and payment is received in May of the following year, along with a “true-up” for the prior year’s actual expenditures.

In the mean time, the city has made an amendment of $160,000 in the FY 2018 Police Dispatch-Machinery budget for these expenditures.

The Gwinnett 911 Advisory Committee serves in an advisory role to ensure uniformity and quality of 911 services.
