Long story here…but before we could get far, the politicians we were working with were …busted.

The "police" or public safety radio business has always been one tied to defense contractors, ususally Motorola, and controlled under very heavy handed circumstances.

It is also a source of massive waste and corruption.

The Michigan public radio project for the State Police is one of the worst RFPs I have ever seen.
