Continuing (silly character limit): Factor on top of these expenses, your ongoing expenses. Staff salaries and benefits, the cost of power, internet, staff continuing training, etc etc.

There is also the added piece that IT systems also need to talk to one another. For instance, APD connects their CAD to the State's APSIN system, this requires a bridge program to make the two talk. Changes to one system can threaten this bridge and force it to be updated on top of the system being upgraded. Figure phone, CAD, APSIN/NCIC, Map, and at least one other system (5 total) constantly communicating and being maintained.
