testifies Kneeland suspect in Walker murder Clay said the grant was the "largest single action grant our agency has ever made and the largest equipment-purchase grant in the state for this type of equipment" He said the imit price under the contract provides the "best price for comparable equipment by anyone anywhere in the United States" Matkins said as an example for an expenditure of $35000 Irving can get equip ment that would cost it $111000 if it did it on its own The money will allow communities to update older equipment and to provide better communications between agencies The new system will pro vide for eight radio frequencites in a high band range for better clearer communications without the "blank spots" that sometimes occur when a vehicle goes over a hill Clay said Tarrant County is not a part of the program but has equipment that will be compatible with agencies getting the new GE equipment Fort Worth will take bids on equipment at a later date and then determine on the basis of those bids whether it wants to participate in the program with COG Matkin said agencies could decide to join the system at any time during the life of the one-year program and get the same unit price for the equipment If enough law enforcement agencies join later Clay said the state funding could be increased The program is made up of 25 per cent local funding 375 per cent state funding and 375 per cent from the Federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration rbolo Gauthier Collin Tomlinson Harlan Riley Ernest Sullens Tony Hoefner Sgt Miller Kenneth Meredith and
