# Rice Township Upgrades Police Reporting Systems

Rice Township, Pennsylvania, approved two police department purchases totaling $46,787 at a special meeting the week before October 4, 2026: a system and installation for FBI National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) reporting, and a server with related equipment and software. The server is also intended to support township functions beyond police operations and strengthen cybersecurity. The article reports no open solicitation for these purchases; the township is separately seeking a $300,000 grant for the Ice Harvest Drive project.

- The approved purchases comprise $21,375 for the NIBRS reporting system and installation, and $25,412 for the server, equipment, and software.
- The server’s planned use across police, township office, zoning, and EMS functions indicates municipal demand for shared IT infrastructure with cybersecurity benefits.
- Contractors should treat the police technology purchases as approved rather than active bid opportunities. The separate Ice Harvest Drive grant request is a distinct project, not an open solicitation for the technology purchases.
