The grantee is proposing a program to expand interoperability operations to local, state and federal agencies. Funds will be used to purchase communications interoperability equipment and associated consoles that will provide the Emergency Communications & Mobility Center the capability for effective secure communications. These communications consist of radio, telephone, fax, pager and email, with both internal and external agencies of the local, county, state and federal government.
