"With MobileCop we now have an interoperable data communications system that will help us get the right resources to respond to any incident virtually anywhere in the County," explained Steve Castor, Erlanger 911 Communications Center manager.

The participating communities expect to be able to maintain and improve the system through 911 landline user fees and without additional local tax dollars. "With multiple jurisdictions sharing central site hardware and software, as opposed to each one having its own separate system, we're able to save significant dollars in operational costs," added Castor.

"Increasingly, law enforcement agencies across the country are doing what Kenton County has done in building a multi-jurisdictional system," said Ken Souza Senior Vice President and General Manager of BIO-key's Law Enforcement Division. "Sharing resources makes economic sense and sharing information makes officers on the street more effective."
