Insights reveal ways for public safety and public sector to optimize funds received

Middletown, RI, August 6, 2009 – PURVIS Systems Incorporated announced today the release of a new report outlining key mistakes public safety and public sector managers should avoid in dealing with the current funding environment surrounding the stimulus package.

Initially, tight timelines associated with responding to grant requests left many public safety agencies scrambling to respond. Currently, uncertainty in the timing of funding and changes in grant guidance have added to the confusion. Such an environment leaves significant potential for mistakes that range from the overlooking of needed funds to outright waste. The report entitled “Top 3 Critical Stimulus Funding Mistakes Public Agencies Can Avoid” will help decision-makers succeed during these turbulent times.

Jack Heller, Vice President at PURVIS Systems, Inc. said, “If not careful, quick decisions, inadequate planning, and uncertainty in the timing of funding could result in serious missteps by public safety and public sector agencies. The results of the stimulus plan will be scrutinized over time; and managers clearly want their decisions to hold up under this scrutiny. This report will help ensure that happens.”
