The next step for a new radio system for municipal police will go through a call for proposals. Bridgewater Police Chief John Collyer spoke to town council Monday night about the desperate need for a new system. Collyer says they are in need of a more modern radio system.
Collyer says they experienced a number of failures with their system in June and need to replace it as soon as possible. The police service has set aside $30,000 to replace the current model. Collyer is hopeful the new system can be purchased for under $40,000.
