Background Information:
On many occasions, the need arises for governmental agencies to work together for many reasons and transmit
information while out in the field, The ability of emergency service workers to communicate is essential and
has been for years because in the past agencies lacked the technology to do so. Currently, law enforcement
agencies are resolving this problem by obtaining modern communications systems that will have the
capabilities to communicate with one another during operational emergencies. Interoperability refers to the
ability of public safety agencies to talk across jurisdictions via radio communications networks for the purpose
of exchanging voice and/or data with one another on demand, in real time and when needed. This agreement is
part of a continuing effort to increase the coordination of inter -agency radio system interoperability between
agencies, which is crucial to the mutual aid assistance, especially during emergency mobilizations.
