This publication, written by the National Task Force on Interoperability, was developed as a result of the ongoing dialogue among state and local decision makers and public safety officials to address why many public officials working in the same jurisdiction cannot easily communicate. This inability is a threat to public safety and often results in the loss of lives and property. A task force comprised of 18 national associations representing a wide array of interests collaborated on this guide.
