(KNZA)--A new voice recording system has been installed at the Brown County Sheriff’s Department’s dispatch center.
Sheriff John Merchant and dispatcher Ron Segrest discussed the recent purchase with the County Commission Tuesday.
The new recording system was purchased for just over $27,000, with funding coming from the 911 fee collected on phone lines. The system records all E-911 and administrative calls that come into the dispatch center.
Merchant said the old system was outdated and parts for the system were no longer available.
In other business, Hiawatha resident Dean Tollefson presented Commissioners with a letter urging them not to demolish the old county jail.
The Commission has been discussing the possible demolition of the facility built in 1924, but have taken no action.
Tollefson urged the Commission to explore all possible uses for the building.
