Hunterdon County Invests $2.3 Million to Upgrade Emergency Response Technology
Hunterdon County, New Jersey, is undertaking a significant modernization of its emergency response infrastructure with a $2.3 million investment in upgrading its Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) and records management systems. County officials recently announced the initiative, emphasizing its positive impact on public safety and operational efficiency.
The enhanced system will consolidate records management services across police, fire, and emergency medical services (EMS) agencies throughout the county. This unified approach is designed to streamline communication and coordination among emergency responders, allowing for quicker, more effective responses to incidents.
One of the key benefits highlighted by county officials is the shared services model. By centralizing technology resources, Hunterdon County anticipates substantial cost savings, particularly for local fire departments which often operate with limited budgets. The integration is expected to reduce redundancies and improve data accessibility for all emergency personnel.
The upgraded dispatch and records system is scheduled to be deployed on October 1, 2025. This deployment marks a major step forward in enhancing the county’s public safety capabilities, reflecting a commitment to leveraging modern technology to protect residents more effectively.
