RADIO GRANT: Northampton Community College (NCC) Department of Public Safety received $50,000 in grant funding through PA State Rep. Joe Emerick’s office to support Public Safety upgrades. This funding will enable NCC’s Department of Public Safety to replace current end-of-life radio equipment and implement a new radio system. It will also support the acquisition of a radio repeater, ensuring clear and reliable communication across all three campus locations—an essential component of maintaining a safe and responsive environment for students, faculty, and staff.

The Department of Public Safety relies on a two-way radio communication system to ensure continuous coordination among officers serving its three locations. Reliable radio communication is essential to maintaining a secure campus environment, especially during large scale events, such as commencement, guest speakers, and conferences.
