Kentucky state police deploy alert system

Jul 21, 2008 5:18 PM, - MRT

The system sends voice alerts or text messages to cell phones, specifically to personnel working in the state’s special response team, HazMat team, canine units and hazardous device technicians. Disparate warning systems—different brands, models and frequencies—can be bridged by docking radios into the mobile command-and-control unit or stationary unit that accompanies the system, according to the company.
