On Tuesday, Falls Township approved the purchase for the last remaining advanced computer system for its patrolling fleet.The system manufactured by Data 911 will consist of a laptop, warranty and upgrades and will cost the township $11,485.40.

With this final purchase, all patrol vehicles operated by the Falls Township Police Department will be equipped with the system.

Although only one system will be bought with the approximately $11,000, the system is extremely high-tech. The system is able to operate solely off the patrol car’s battery and will work within county, state and federal systems.

In addition to approaching the township with the purchase of a new system, the Falls Township Police Department hired a new officer, Jarrod Eisenhauer. Eisenhauer, a seasoned Bristol Township officer (who will not have to attend trainings at the police academy) will be available immediately – filling the spot of a retired officer, and protecting Falls Township streets even quicker.
