Troopers Doing Own Engineering, Saving Taxpayers Thousands of Dollars
By DONNA MIKELS
WITHIN SIX months diana will have the police radio system In United States. What's more—and this is good news for Mr, Taxpayer the Indiana system will cost less than half as much as those in “next best” states, Indiana’s state police are now in the process of switching over to a three-way FM system in place of the present two-way FM-AM setup. Ordinarily the cost of such a switchover would give Mr. Taxpayer a sinking feeling in his pocketbook and dollar signs in

$10,000 a month plus major reI pair expenses after that." "
However, in Indiana the whole new system will cost only $200,000. And even this sum looks like less when it's congidered that $77,000 went for construction of towers, leaving only -$123,000 to cover: ONE: Radio control consoles for nine field posts and a larger console for headquarters. TWO: New equipment for 300 mobile units which will permit the present control-to-car and ear-to-control conversation, plus the new “three-way feature” car-to-car, ” = » THE “THREE-WAY” feature goes ever further,.

out going through central control. In times of a manhunt, when speedy, localized communication is vital and when central controls are most apt to be snowed under, this feature will be invaluable. How did the Hoosier troopers do all this so cheaply? The answer lies In the state police's radio unit itself, This unit is unique In the nation in that it has no “unskilled” workers, Every man—from dis patcher up to the department head—is a two-license radio telegraph and radio-telephone engineer, Thus when it was decided Indiana must have a new radio system these trooper-radiomen got busy turning out a ‘“homemade" set comparable with any of the best “store bought” in the nation, - —8 » =n THERE was no big outlay of
money , for: a consulting en-"
gineer. Maintenance. Engineer J. M. Spade and Chief Technician Charles F. Pippin of Indianapolis headquarters post designed and drew up the plans themselves, The second major savings came when the skilled trooperradiomen built the equipment themselves. The big two-placé ' console control board for headquarters post is comparable to one which a commercial \ radio station bought for $21,000. eight years ago and which. now would cost $40,000 to $50,000, How much did the state police console Tog About $3651. g
ONLY the construction of the sheet metal frame was “hired out.” The trooper purchased parts, assembled the radios and
put the control board together themselves. Of course, there's no computing how much labor went into the construction but that's all part of a day's work for the radio division. The smaller consoles for the nine field posts cost about $1900. They're about half as big as the post console and on the market would cost about half as much - as the commercial station unit. The rest of the changeover is being accgmplished gradually. A new crystal in the present mobile units will take care of the “three-way” feature. Mobile ‘units are already on FM, so that when the posts switch over, the interference-prone AM will be abandoned.

. . #4 - THE PLAN was originated’ in 1946 and 93 per cent of the state is now participating. It has been hailed in national police circles, with five other states already copying it and others in the process. It’s no secret to the rest of the U. 8. that the Hoosier police communication system is the nation’s ‘best. The National Police Radio Committee, started in 1943, has come to Indiana twice for its top executive. Capt. Robert Batts, superintendent’ of the Indianapolis police rddio system, was its
“first ‘chairman from founding
to 1947. He was succeeded by Zellon Audritsh, operations’ en-
