The functional goal of Public Safety Technology is to insure that newly constructed and renovated City facilities, mobile and portable subscriber radio wireless units, and the supporting infrastructures incorporate standardized, cost effective, state of the art communications systems.

Pubic Safety Technology has developed clearly delineated standards to guide the design process for campus and facility drawings for all aspects of voice, video, data, and radio communications systems.

The division is responsible for the management and self- maintenance of all the subscriber units of the City's Public Safety and Public Works radio voice and data radio systems. Management of the maintenance of all the telephone systems and the associated integrated systems, moves, adds and changes of these systems are the responsibility of this division. All billing for telecommunications services, network facilities, long distance services, cellular services, coin phones utilized by the City in addition to the management of the maintenance contracts for public safety, public works and microwave radio systems of the City are handled by this division.

It is the responsibility of Public Safety Technology to achieve the levels of technical service and engineering support that will allow critical public safety communications to continue reliably on a 24 hour per day, 7day per week basis. It is also responsible for insuring that facility users are provided with reliable, redundant, scalable, high-speed access that provides a cost effecting solution to their unique requirements.
