NYPD Spends Nearly $1 Million On Typewriters For Desk Cops At Police Stations
(From The New York Post -- By Jeremy Olshan)
New York City is plunking down nearly $1 million on typewriters for its keystroke cops.
That's right -- typewriters.
Despite the adoption of high-tech equipment that can read license plates from the air and detect radiological events before they happen, manual and electric typewriters continue to be used throughout the NYPD -- and they won't be phased out anytime soon, officials told THE NEW YORK POST.
In fact, just last year, the city signed a $982,269 contract with New Jersey-based SWINTEC for the purchase of thousands of new manual and electric typewriters over the next three years -- some of which retail for as much as $649 apiece.
