Shawnee Police Department/Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office Pole Camera and Ipad Grant

The City of Shawnee, Shawnee Police Department is requesting funds for the "Shawnee Police Department/Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office Pole Camera and Ipad Grant." This program will provide both the Shawnee Police Department and the Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office with equipment to better serve their citizens in the areas of crime enforcement and better response times to calls for service.  The City of Shawnee is requesting funding for the purchase of a 12" Pole Camera Video System. This will allow us better surveillance in targeting high crime areas for narcotics investigations by monitoring drug houses and vehicles that frequent these areas; additionally, it will allow our Sex Offender team with a tool to help conduct compliance checks of our approximate 50 registered sex offenders in our city.

The Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office is requesting funding for the purchase of twelve (12) Apple Ipad Generation 9 computers for their deputies. This will assist not only in report writing, but provide a Mobile Date Terminal (MDT), which will allow quick access to  dispatcher call notes and locations; thus, the citizens and deputies will benefit due to increased call response times, resulting in more safety for all.
