MANASSAS, Va. — So, what do police officers do when they’re having problems getting getting a signal down at the station?
It’s simple – ask AT&T to install a device inside the police station valued at nearly $60,000 that will improve service. And, get it all at no cost.
That’s what’s happening at Prince William County’s Western District Police Station outside Manassas. According to county documents, the wireless carrier will install a MetroCell low-power transmitting device, weighing about five pounds and smaller than 10 inches, inside the police station.
The installation won’t cost anything, but should the police department decide they no longer want the device – it’ll cost to remove it.
“Should the removal of the device be required, a fee will be charged based on years of use. A maximum fee of $8,850 would be charged for removal in the first year of use, $5,900 in the in the second year of use, and $2,950 thereafter,” according to county documents.
The new device, approved by the Prince William County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, comes as people who work inside the police station have had problems using their cell phones on the AT&T network, and have encountered dead zones inside the office. AT&T is one of two companies contracted to provide cell service inside the building.
