Getting Budget Money for TIs
If your department has not yet approached its budgeting authority with a request for thermal imagers, materials available through the inSIGHT program can be used to make an effective appeal. To order your inSIGHT kit, use one of the following methods to register:
- Submit the inSIGHT Registration Form on line
- Print the inSIGHT Registration Form (Word document) and fax it to the inSIGHT Coordinator at 859-234-8987
