Ref: Universal Service Funds
Our Bonneville County Sheriff s Office uses Edge Wireless cell phone service as its
primary phone service for all mobile law enforcement operations, including our Jail.
Every law enforcement officer is assigned an Edge Wireless cell phone to conduct the
business of the Sheriff. We rely on Edge Wireless to provide service in all areas of our
County, including rural areas that now have limited and/or spotty service for our
emergency operations.
I encourage you to provide Universal Service Funds to Edge Wireless so they can
provide us the cell phone service we need in all areas of our county for emergency
operations, as well as for other supporting organizations within the County, including
County Road and Bridge operations.
Thank you for your consjderation on this matter.
