Today is Thursday, Dec. 10, and here are five things to know in Montgomery County:

1.Public Safety Radio System Infrastructure Project: Public Safety and Government Operations Committees will meet today at 9:30 a.m. to review the Public Safety Radio System.

Officials say the system is 17 years old and well past its 2009 end-of-life date. Watch the meeting live on YouTube here.
