PROJECT DESCRIPTION: School Resource Officers (SRO's) discovered many areas within the middle and high schools that have poor radio coverage. This project allows for the purchase and installation of bi-directional amplifiers (BDA's) in buildings to greatly improve radio coverage for public safety personnel. Currently BDA's have been installed in all existing county high schools, middle schools, and the Harford County Courthouse. The bi-annual allocation of $100,000 allows us to continue to provide them for Harford County buildings as necessary and repair the ones previously installed.
