As such, other <br />municipal and federal agencies also rely on its intercept capability. The <br />Wire Room is currently equipped with the Voice Box III 3.2 software version <br />and equipment. JSI Telecom, the manufacturer of the software, is no longer <br />providing technical support for this software version.

JSI Telecom Voice Box III 3.6 software version <br />will enable the use of emerging technology. Along with the software <br />upgrade, new equipment is required to support the new Voice Box III 3.6 <br />software. Staff has determined that JSI Telecom is uniquely suited to <br />provide the software and equipment upgrade and recommends approval of the <br />recommended action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Police Criminal Activities Fund Machinery & <br />Equipment account (account no. 26-342-6641). <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />Paul M.
