Polls...

DPS is looking for continued feed back on the P7200 portables and the system in general. We will be posting several polls every couple of weeks, to give you a quick, easy and anonymous way to let us know what you think and help us understand how the system is being utilized. The first two polls are posted until May 3rd, so PLEASE check them out and give us some feed back! We'll post results at the close of the poll and before a new poll is posted! And as usual you are encouraged to comment on the blog as well!

Thanks!

Don't leave just yet...

Don't stop checking the blog just because you have received your training and new portables!!!! The blog is still an important source of information as we move through and beyond this project. Readers can expect to find information on the "Second Touch" phase of the rebanding project, system/tower site upgrades, software upgrades, interoperability, training, patches and so much more! See keep checking back and we'll keep posting!
