A grant application to assist with motor vehicle theft in the city was also approved.
The spending and grant application were approved by Frisco City Council as part of its consent agenda April 15.
The details
Local police are looking to upfit 37 new vehicles with in-car video systems.
The company Symbiote Solutions will supply the systems, install them and provide cloud storage for the video for a year. The total cost of these services, along with a five-year warranty, is $208,040.
The funding will come from Frisco Police Department’s 2025 operating budget.
The company EARTC, LLC will install four new traffic signals for $917,205. When the work is complete, there will be one new traffic signal and three pedestrian hybrid beacon signals.
The new traffic signal will be at Coit Road and Prestwick Hollow Drive. The pedestrian beacons will be on Warren Parkway at The Star Boulevard, Gaylord Parkway at Hall Park, and Gaylord Parkway at Network Boulevard.
Construction on these signals is expected to begin in May and be completed in 100 days.
What else?
City officials also approved the submission of a grant application that could help aid local police in auto theft prevention.
The grant application will be submitted to the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority. Local police are looking to get a $457,133 grant to purchase drone equipment. This will allow the police department to collaborate with the North Collin/Denton County Auto Theft Taskforce which was formed in 2024.
The taskforce includes the police departments in Frisco, Proposer and Celina, as well as the sheriff’s offices in Collin and Denton counties.
