ISPERN - January Update - Good News!

As of today, January 27, 2012, an MOU was signed between ILEAS and the Illinois State Police to partner to replace the VHF ISPERN base stations.  A committee of voice communications experts have met to begin the (hopefully) short discussion of specifically what equipment needs purchased and how the implementation will progress across the State.  ILEAS will expend up to $900,000 to purchase the equipment and ISP will dedicate in-house technical staff to installation at the districts. 

ICJIA Vehicle Grants

The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority is requesting proposals for law enforcement vehicle grants to be made with federal fiscal year 2008 Justice Assistance Grant funding.

ICJIA has designated a maximum of $20,000 to be awarded to each agency. A minimum of 75 percent of the total funds will be available for units of local government with a population of less than 25,000, and a maximum of 25 percent of the total funds being made available for this program will be available for those with a population of 25,000 or greater.
