| Project Description: |
| Gadsden County's public safety radio communication equipment has limited coverage within and outside the county, and no ability to communicate with state or other local law enforcement personnel in times of statewide response efforts tied to a natural disaster, domestic security event, or multi-agency/jurisdictional public safety effort. In order to ensure public safety, Florida's public safety presonnel must have the ability to effectively communicate with one another to ensure the most effective response to public safety issues, natural disasters, and domestic security events. |
| |
| Is this a project related to a federal or state declared disaster? |
No |
| |
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| Ability for local law enforcement personnel to communicate with state and local law enforcement and other first responders to ensure public safety. The ability to communicate is the most critical tool in a first responder's role and will reduce the time required to respond or recover. |
