Q. What is the Videoconferencing Initiative?

A. The Court Security Commission has set aside not less than $600,000.00 for a videoconferencing initiative available to all counties. Counties that have previously received videoconferencing equipment as part of a court security grant are automatically included in the Videoconferencing Initiative. All other grants will be awarded competitively. It is expected that 14 to 19 counties will receive funds as part of this effort. Interested local security teams must prepare a detailed document setting forth the reasons their county should be selected. The purpose of the videoconferencing initiative is to reduce court security concerns associated with transportation of in-custody defendants to court hearings from county jails and state correctional facilities. Local security teams should request $45,700.00 per system as part of their annual equipment request. Local security teams that receive an award as part of the videoconferencing initiative will be required to sign a Memorandum of Understanding in addition to the annual Agreement for Services.
