Grundy County switches to FirstNet to prioritize communication

  • April 25, 2024 FirstNet Article
  • Situated about 45 minutes south of Chicago, a county of 50,000 residents spread out over 430 square miles. The rural county is also home to two major interstate highways, three nuclear power plants, and several large events that attract thousands of visitors each year.
  • The primary reason Grundy County Sheriff’s Office made the switch to FirstNet was for the consolidation. “We have so many connected devices now that are in our squad cars,” said Bogard. “We wanted to get away from having a cellular device in the laptop and go with mobile office setup in our squad cars. With FirstNet, we have connected dash cameras, body worn cameras, K9 environmental monitoring, laptops, and drone equipment with one data device instead of several, saving us money and streamlining operations” The best solution for the department was deploying ruggedized modems and switching to FirstNet. This solution provides wired ports as well as Wi-Fi in the car for all the devices needing connectivity. “With FirstNet, responders operating on the network used a single reliable connection on all necessary devices.” Since 2021, the county has requested a FirstNet deployable to connect a mobile surveillance trailer, allowing agencies to collect and share information with their public safety partners at the festival. The FirstNet deployable provides the necessary bandwidth to stream video footage to the incident command center, the 911 operations center, and to fellow officers.
