Abstract:The inability of our public safety officials to readily communicate with each other threatens the public?s safety and often results in unnecessary loss of lives and property. Recognizing that solutions to this national issue can only be achieved through cooperation between all levels of government, 18 national associations representing State and local elected and appointed officials and public safety officials formed a task force to address this issue. Five key reasons keep our public agencies from being able to communicate: Incompatible and aging technology, limited and fragmented funding, limited and fragmented planning, a lack of coordination and cooperation, and limited and fragmented spectrum. This guide examines these traditional critical barriers to interoperability and provides information on what needs to be done to overcome them and how you as a public official can help. References, website listing, glossary, and acronyms. 104 p; 1.6 MB.
