Old Business:
Update on Next Generation: Staff has been experiencing audio problems. TCS made
some adjustments and seems to be working better.
Update on Pulse Point: Hartman stated the annual cost for Pulse Point is $8,000 –
$9,000 a year for the program. The hardware is purchased separately and must be
interfaced with dispatch. One will have to physically go to each AED location and input
the information. Hartman doesn’t see the advantage and wouldn’t recommend the
program. Miller agreed and mentioned most public buildings have AED’s and all patrol
cars have them as well.
Update on “I am Responding:” Hartman gave a brief overview on “I am Responding.”
The annual cost is $850. The computers will be installed in 6 vehicles, which include
Hartman’s and Bolzer’s. Hartman will be conducting tests with the company with hot
spots.
