PSCO to Continue Providing Fire and Police Telecommunication Services for Lake Wales 

Date:

by James Coulter 

The City of Lake Wales will continue to receive fire and police telecommunication services through the Polk County Sheriff’s Office now that city commissioners have approved an interlocal agreement. 

At their recent meeting on Tues. June 18, 2025, Lake Wales city commissioners voted unanimously to approve their consent agenda, which included an interlocal agreement with the PCSO for fire and police telecommunication services. 

The agreement will allow the PSCO to continue providing fire and police telecommunication services from Wed. Oct. 1, 2025, through Wed. Sept. 30, 2026. 

The annual cost for telecommunication services will be $51,923 for fire and $355,066 for police. 

The City of Lake Wales initially entered into its interlocal agreement in 2021. As the agenda item memo explained, “This agreement is similar to those in place in Winter Haven, Auburndale, Frostproof, Fort Meade, and Davenport.”
