Project Goals
➤ Timely replacement of Clackamas County’s emergency radio/data infrastructure.
➤ Maintain a system that is based on current digital technology and ensures compatibility and interoperability into the future.
➤ Maintain existing service levels – Enhance service in buildings and south county.
➤ This project is the responsible way to fix the problem, creating an efficient, dependable communications system that works in all parts of Clackamas County to save lives.
Why does the Emergency Radio System in Clackamas County need replacing?
➤ The existing emergency radio system is out-dated and prone to failure.
➤ Need to transition to current digital technology.
➤ Need to ensure ongoing system compatibility and interoperability.
➤ Built in 2000 with 1990 technology, vendor support for the system is ending in 2017.
➤ Need to respond to population growth.
Whose issue is this?
➤ This isn’t a City, County, or Fire District issue.
➤ This isn’t a fire issue or the Sheriff’s issue or a city police department’s issue.
➤ This is a public safety issue for all the citizens and agencies that need a single system; a single system that works every time, regardless of where you are in Clackamas County – at home, at work, at school, at play or travelling the roads.
➤ The public safety radio system is at the core of a strong, unified public safety response system from the 18 public safety agencies serving Clackamas County.
