Louisiana signed a $192.6 million no-bid, 10-year contract with Motorola to upgrade and maintain its statewide public safety radio network and provide police technology including body cameras and license plate readers. The contract expands Motorola's existing services and offers discounted equipment prices to local law enforcement agencies.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
This extended contract with Motorola locks in a decade-long dependency on a single supplier for police tech across Louisiana. If you build or sell alternatives to radio or camera systems, you need to target local agencies that might be left out or negotiate directly with Motorola to access this market.
