"Police, Emergency Workers to Test New Radio Linkup"
Lexington Herald-Leader (02/04/03) P. B2

State Rep. Hal Rogers (R-Somerset) announced Feb. 3 that he
had received $10 million in federal money earmarked so that
the Kentucky State Police and Kentucky Division of Vehicle
Enforcement can try out a new system in which police and
emergency workers could directly communicate in the field,
even across different radio channels. The program will
initially operate in 42 counties in eastern and southern
Kentucky; state police want to form a system of this kind
across Kentucky. Police using the system could spread a
wanted criminal's description more rapidly, for example, or
share data concerning hazardous chemicals involving anyone
traveling toward a tanker fire scene. The program--the only
one of its type in the rural United States--would build on a
$22.5 million measure Rogers previously formed. Rogers' Law
Enforcement Technology program has provided computers and
additional equipment to 110 city and county police forces in
the 42-county region.
