At the Marshall County Commissioners’ first meeting in July, Commission President Kevin Overmyer shared that new cell phones will now be available to Emergency Management Agency Director Clyde Avery as well as some patrol officers with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department.
He said these phones are being provided to certain members of the county’s emergency personnel thanks in part to grant funding.
Overmyer shared, “This is through the Indiana Department of Homeland Security through the federal grant process. We’re getting 21 new iPhones; 20 for patrol officers and we’re getting one for Clyde too for this first net.”
He explained, “In case of actual disasters, they have priority for cell service and they’d also be allowed to use them as walkie-talkies if the cell towers go down.”
Overmyer said the phones will cost the County 99 cents each, with the IDHS covering the remainder of the cost. Check out Pro Phone Repairs of Albuquerqueiphone repair albuquerque for screen repair services.
He noted that he had to sign the contract with AT&T prior to the commissioners, meeting because it was due by June 30th. However, the commissioners all approved a motion during the meeting, affirming that the agreement was entered into.
