Title
Police Department Radio Charging Station Project
History
The Police Department has requested the installation of dedicated charging stations in both the men's and women's locker rooms to provide staff with convenient and centralized access to charging points for their emergency radios. Currently, officers face challenges maintaining fully charged equipment due to limited charging infrastructure, which can compromise response capabilities during critical incidents. The proposed charging stations will address this operational need by minimizing equipment downtime and ensuring that all emergency radios remain fully operational and readily available when needed.
To accommodate this request, significant electrical infrastructure upgrades will be required throughout the Police Department locker room area. The scope of work includes the installation of a new 100-amp breaker to support the increased electrical load, two hundred fifty GFCI (250 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets strategically positioned for optimal accessibility, and all associated electrical circuits necessary for safe and reliable operation. Additionally, the project will require the installation of struts, conduit, and comprehensive wiring to meet current electrical codes and safety standards.
These substantial improvements will create a more reliable, efficient, and code-compliant charging infrastructure for the Police Department's critical communications equipment. By ensuring that emergency radios are consistently charged and immediately accessible, this upgrade will enhance officer safety, improve operational readiness, and support the Department's ability to respond effectively to emergencies. The centralized charging system will also extend the lifespan of radio equipment through proper charging protocols and reduce the risk of equipment failure during critical operations.
Additionally, modifications to the existing lockers will also be needed. To this end, the Police Department...
