The project has been plagued with several misfortunes the Keego Harbor installation ran into black mold, resulting in condemnation of the administrative building. The City of Troy was ready to upgrade when their location was closed due to lead contamination from their shooting range. The project continues. Ferndale was the pilot site and is up and ready as of last Friday, September 10th. An overview of the Video Arraignment System was distributed designating existing equipment with optional sites. This system will eventually allow any police department or sheriff substation holding facility to participate in arraignments onsite.
