and revenues by $1 1,200 00 in the Special Trust Fund from increased revenues, and

Unit
DISCUSSION
The SWAT Unit is in need of an earphone/microphone headset system to be used during many
of the assignments they performed It is critical that radio communications be done quietly
during SWAT situations, hostage negotiations, warrant service, dignitary protection and
surveillance operations The need for an unobtrusive/covert communication device is evident to
enhance the effectiveness of the operations More importantly, purchase of the headsets will
enhance the ability of the officers to perform their assignments in a safe manner
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that upon approval of the attached appropriations
ordinance funds required for this expenditure will be available in the current operating budget of
the Special Trust Fund
