This funding will update the Waco PD’s 20-year-old dispatching system and install a more effective dispatching system, which will help officers to respond to emergency calls more quickly and efficiently. The funds will also enable the Waco Fire Department to implement a computer-aided dispatch system to respond faster to distress calls.
