Mr. Vance noted that the communication center would house the CAD. Prior to the centralized communications system, sworn police officers and firefighters were utilized. However, sworn personnel are currently being used only in supervisory capacities . Mr. Vance also noted that additional monies were being included for fringe benefits since they were not budgeted within this department in 1987 but were in the Police Department budget.

Mr. Vance stated that he was uncertain in this regard but would check into the matter and report back to the Committee.
