The new system dramatically improved our ability to communicate with all of the officers in the field. Since we converted, the Towns of Wrentham, Plainville, Medway, and Milford have all converted, or begun to convert to this newer style radio system. All officers are assigned a portable radio that is theirs to keep with them while working, and off duty. Officers are assigned ID numbers to identify themselves on the radio while working a detail, or calling in while off duty. The communications room was renovated in the spring of 1998.
