§725.3. Office of interoperability; legislative findings; declaration of intent
A combination of law enforcement, public safety leaders, health and emergency medical staff interests, technology and communication managers and technicians, vendors of communication systems, public officials, and state and federal agencies are all needed to address the complexities of communications interoperability in this state. The creation of the office of interoperability is not to identify a single solution, but to identify and implement interoperability solutions that are always available and can be accessed statewide. Solutions are needed for a secure and interoperable communications system accessible to public safety agencies and personnel, first responders, decision makers, and the public, allowing for clear and efficient exchange of voice, data, image, and video information during day-to-day operations, natural disasters, emergency response situations, and terrorist attacks.
