4 Executive Overview This document establishes a Tactical Interoperable Communications Plan (TICP) for State of Wisconsin. The TICP is intended to document the interoperable communications resources available within the designated area, who controls each resource, and what rules of use or operational procedures exist for the activation and deactivation of each resource. This TICP is effective as of [Month Day, Year] and will be reviewed every two years by the State Agency SCIP Implementation Group. Copies of the most current plan will be provided to the Wisconsin Emergency Management State Warning and Communication Officer and Office of Justice Assistance/Interoperability Manager. A paper copy of this TICP should be stored as an attachment to Emergency Support Function (ESF) 2 in the State ESF. See Appendix J for a list of resources available to assist in preparing/updating the TICP. iv

5 System Definitions Interoperability is the ability to communicate between agencies that utilize disparate radio systems and other interoperability methods such as mutual aid channels, gateways, dispatch centers and radio caches. Interoperable resources are defined as shared systems, shared channels, gateways, and radio caches: Shared Systems refer to a single radio system used to provide service to several public safety or public service agencies. Intra-System Shared Channels refer to common frequencies/talkgroups established and programmed into radios to provide interoperable communications among agencies using the same shared radio system. Channel, in this context, refers to the name of a common frequency/talkgroup visually displayed on a user s radio. Inter-System Shared Channels refer to common frequencies/talkgroups established and programmed into radios to provide interoperable communications among agencies using different radio systems. Channel, in this context, refers to the name of a common frequency/talkgroup visually displayed on a user s radio. Gateway Systems interconnect channels of disparate systems (whether on different frequency bands or radio operating modes), allowing first responders using their existing radios and channels to be interconnected with the channels of other users outside of their agency. Dispatch consoles that are able to create patches will also be captured as gateways. Cache Radios, also known as swapped radios, refer to maintaining a cache of standby radios that can be deployed to support county incidents. These radios may be from a county cache or from a participating agency. These radios allow all responders to use common, compatible equipment during an incident. Mobile Communications Units (MCUs) (also known as a Mobile Communications Centers (MCCs) or Mobile Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs)) refers to any vehicular asset that can be deployed to provide or supplement communications capabilities in an incident area. Examples of the types of communications devices an MCU can house are: subscriber and base station radios of various frequency bands, gateway devices, satellite phones, wireless computer networks, video broadcasting/receiving equipment, etc. Typically these communications devices are permanently [located/stored] in the MCUs when not used. The MCU should also be able to temporarily provide the electrical power required to operate the communications devices. v

19 2 Governance 2.1 Overview The State of Wisconsin TICP addresses interoperable communications equipment and planning for the State. Though each agency, discipline, and jurisdiction participating in this plan is unique regarding their own interoperable communication needs and capabilities, proximity to one another, population, and shared incident/event responsibilities allow them to develop a single, consolidated State TICP rather than several individual, potentially incompatible plans. The TICP therefore consolidates information across agencies, disciplines, and jurisdictions by documenting State communications capabilities in order to provide a usable and accurate State tactical incident response tool. The TICP was developed under the authority of the Wisconsin Interoperability Council on [MM/DD/YY]. The Wisconsin Interoperability Council appointed members to the State Agency SCIP Implementation Group (SASIG), designated as an advisory committee to the Wisconsin Interoperability Council. The following table lists member representatives from the public safety and public service disciplines. Table 2: SASIG Members Name Jason Crabb Larry Flessert Carl Guse Jennifer Lord Kent MacLaughlin Ian Nunn David Owen Walter Peterson Robin Schmidt Ralph Sheffer Markley Wahl Daniel Westfield Paul Wittkamp (Chair) State Agency Air National Guard/Department of Military Affairs Dept. of Justice/Division of Criminal Investigation Wisconsin State Patrol/Department of Transportation Wisconsin Office of Justice Assistance Wisconsin Emergency Management State Traffic Operations Center/ Department of Transportation National Guard/ Department of Military Affairs Capitol Police Department of Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection Department of Natural Resources Department of Administration Department of Corrections Department of Health Services 4

20 2.2 Governing Body The Wisconsin Interoperability Council was established under Wis. Stats and in March 2008 to develop strategies and recommend standards and guidelines for achieving statewide communications interoperability for Wisconsin's public safety community. The Council advises the OJA on the allocation of homeland security grants and other funding available for the Wisconsin Interoperability Initiative. The current council replaces its predecessor, the State Interoperability Executive Council, which was created by executive order in As the main statewide planning and governance body for communications interoperability in Wisconsin, the Council has chartered numerous other subcommittees and working groups to address particular communications issues. The following lists members that are appointed by the Governor and represent key state and local stakeholders.

21 2.3 Membership Figure 1: State of Wisconsin Governance Organization Chart Appendix A provides POC information for members of the governing body and its subcommittee[s]. 2.4 Responsibilities of the SASIG The State Agency SCIP Implementation Group will: Maintain and update the TICP at regular intervals, or as critical updated information is identified. Disseminate updated plans to all participating agencies. Establish training requirements in support of the TICP. Promote interoperable communications capabilities through trained communications personnel. Initiate Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) and Agreements (MOAs) for interoperable communications. Promote regular interoperable equipment/solutions testing, assist agencies with test evaluations, and dissemination the results. Re-evaluate State requirements as technology evolves and circumstances dictate. Review communications related SOPs created by the included agencies, to preclude conflicts or non-compliance with current standards or initiatives. 6

22 2.5 Meeting Schedule The State Agency SCIP Implementation Group meets quarterly or as needed at the Wisconsin Office of Justice Assistance. 2.6 TICP Maintenance and Update The TICP will be reviewed bi-annually and updated as needed. Requests for changes shall be submitted to the SASIG. The TICP shall be an attachment to the ESF 2. Copies will be available from the OJA, and the Wisconsin Emergency Management Warning and Communications Officer. The TICP will be distributed to all participating and supporting agencies. Requests for modifications or additions to this document should be submitted to the Wisconsin Office of Justice Assistance for distribution to the SASIG. Updates to this document can be recommended by any of the participating agencies. Agencies participating in this plan will be formally notified within 30 days of any approved modifications or additions to this TICP. 2.7 Agency Responsibilities and Rights Agencies will retain the following rights and responsibilities: Agencies are responsible for considering and, if agreeing to, complying with MOUs and Agreements developed by the Wisconsin Interoperability Council. Authorized representatives of agencies participating in this plan have the authority to request the use of equipment, including systems and mobile assets, in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Where applicable, agencies will be responsible for consistently maintaining, testing, and exercising connectivity to interoperable communications. Agencies retain the right to decide when and where to participate in interoperable communications unless directed by the governor. For example, agencies will retain the right to accept or decline a patch to a gateway system to provide interoperable communications during an incident. 2.8 Prioritization and Shared Use of State Interoperability Assets In response to preplanned events or emergency incidents which cross over political jurisdictions, there will potentially be competing demands and priorities for interoperable communications assets. Until such time as Incident Command is established, the lead agency designee (i.e., communications supervisor/command personnel), in cooperation with assisting agencies, will have the authority to designate the use of interoperable assets. Once Incident Command has been established, Command Staff or Communication Unit Leaders (when 7

23 designated) direct the further coordination and delegation of the interoperable communications assets assigned to the event or incident in question. Agencies should judiciously activate needed interoperable assets so as to both effectively respond to the event and/or incident and also minimize any negative impact on surrounding agencies or jurisdictions. Specifically, interoperable communications should be attempted with the following order of operations in mind (subject to variability based on the agencies involved and the nature of the event/incident): 1. Leverage face-to-face communications wherever appropriate. For example, the co-location of all Command and General Staff at the incident command post (ICP) provides the best direct communications and reduces the demand on interoperability resources. 2. Employ agency communications assets until such time as either those assets become taxed or inadequate based on the nature and/or scope of the incident. 3. If response agencies are users of a shared system, utilize that shared system to establish interoperable communications. 4. If response agencies operate on disparate systems, utilize shared or mutual aid channels to establish interoperable communications. 5. If response agencies do not share systems or channels, utilize a gateway solution to establish interoperable communications. 6. Where interoperable communications cannot otherwise be established between response agencies, utilize swap or cache radios to establish interoperable communications for responders. 7. If no other method of interoperability can be established, relay communications through staff members. When the same resources are requested for two or more events or incidents, resource assignments should be based on the priority levels listed below: 1. Disasters, large scale incidents, or extreme emergencies requiring mutual aid or interagency communications. 2. Incidents where imminent danger exists to life or property. 3. Incidents requiring the response of multiple agencies. 4. Pre-planned events requiring mutual aid or interagency communications. 5. Incidents involving a single agency where supplemental communications are needed for agency use. 6. Drills, tests and exercises. In the event of multiple simultaneous incidents within the same priority level, the resources should be allocated with the following priorities in mind: 1. Incidents with the greatest level of exigency (e.g., greater threat to life or property, more immediate need, etc.) have priority over less exigent incidents. 8

24 2. Agencies with single/limited interoperable options have priority use of those options over agencies with multiple interoperable options. 3. When at all possible, agencies already using an interoperable asset during an event should not be redirected to another resource. Reference to applicable policy documents, governing documents, MOUs, and sharing agreements can be found in Appendix G. 9

25 3 Interoperability Equipment, Policies, and Procedures This section describes all interoperable communications equipment and their associated policies and procedures in the State of Wisconsin. 3.1 Shared Systems Shared system refers to a single radio system used to provide service to several public safety or public service agencies. The table below lists all radio systems shared by more than one public safety or service agency operating in the State of Wisconsin. Details on each system are provided in Appendix B. Note: that intra-system shared channels refer to common frequencies/talkgroups established and programmed into radios to provide interoperable communications among agencies using the same shared radio system. Channel, in this context, refers to the name of a common frequency/talkgroup visually displayed on a user s radio.

General interoperable communications rules of use, policies, and procedures that apply across these systems are detailed below. Statewide Shared System Policies and Procedures Use the following procedures when requesting, using, or discontinuing the use of shared communication systems: 10

26 When an individual responder needs to interoperate with other agencies on their same shared system, the responder will notify their dispatch center. The dispatcher can then identify and designate an appropriate channel. Note that in cases where no dispatcher intervention is required, responders still notify dispatch that they are switching to a shared channel to maintain responder safety. Notify dispatch when the interoperability channels/talkgroups are no longer required and announce the return to normal operations channels. For extended incidents: o o o The lead agency dispatcher notifies the Incident Commander/Communications Coordinator (COMC)/Communications Unit Leader (COML) or their designee that interoperability channels/talkgroups are in use. Each agency s dispatch center tells additional en-route responders what interoperability channels are in use for the incident. The IC/ COMC/ COML or their designee determines when the interoperability channels are no longer required and notifies the appropriate dispatch center. Statewide Shared System Rules of Use National Incident Management System Use an Incident Command System (ICS) compliant with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) when using any state interoperability resource. Plain Language All interoperable communications during multi-agency, multidiscipline incidents will be in plain language. Avoid using radio codes, acronyms, and abbreviations as they may cause confusion between agencies. Ensure that all verbal requests for assistance or backup specify the reason for the request. Unit Identification Announce your home agency prior to announcing your unit identifier during interoperable communication situations. Statewide Shared System Problem ID and Resolution During a preplanned event or an incident: During activation, report shared system problems to the IC/ COMC/ COML or their designee assigned to the incident/event who will follow established agency procedures to resolve the problem. Following an incident, the following general problem ID and resolution processes apply to all shared systems: Report any problems with the shared system to the appropriate POC for the owning agency listed in Appendix B.

Users include county, municipal, tribal, and state public safety and public safety partner agencies as well as certain federal, military, and adjoining state agencies. The WISCOM Usage Policy document may be used by all radio system users to obtain guidance and policy information and was prepared by the Statewide System Management Group. Policies included in this document were prepared to assist with direction and control issues and over-all management of WISCOM from the end-user perspective and application. USER LEVELS Level 1 Interoperability / Mutual Aid Interoperability use is defined as radio communications in support of multi agency response to an incident. This is typically across county lines and when responding agencies do not have access to local common channels. Interoperability use will occur on predefined system interoperability channels (talkgroups 1 through 99) in accordance with the guidelines for use of those channels. All local, county, state, tribal, and federal government agencies, military, local and regional governmental districts and authorities, schools, hospitals, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), utilities, and adjacent states, operating in support of public safety, may use WISCOM for interoperability purposes, and are encouraged to do so. There is no cost to use WISCOM for interoperability. VHF VHF 12

28 Level 2 Itinerant / Travel Itinerant use is defined as radio communications in support of units operating outside of their home area or system. This is typically when a unit leaves its home county. Examples of itinerant use are: A sheriff s deputy on a prisoner transport needs to communicate with their dispatch or the dispatch point for the location they are at. A regional response team enroute to/from an incident needs to communicate with their dispatch. Itinerant use will occur on predefined channels in accordance with the guidelines for use of those channels. All local, county, state, tribal government agencies, local and regional governmental districts and authorities, schools, hospitals, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operating in support of public safety, may use WISCOM for itinerant communications. There is no cost to use WISCOM for itinerant communications. Level 3 Daily Use / Dispatch Daily use is defined as radio communications in support of internal agency operations such as usual and routine dispatch. Daily use will occur on channels that have been established for internal agency communications. Daily use will not occur on channels established for interoperability or itinerant use. All local, county, state, tribal, and federal government agencies, military, local and regional governmental districts and authorities, schools, hospitals, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operating in support of public safety, may apply to the SSMG for use of WISCOM for daily use communications. User fees and/or in kind contributions to the construction, operation, and/or maintenance of WISCOM may apply for daily use. User fees are determined by the SSMG. Fees are currently estimated to be approximately $ per year per radio. Level 4 Affiliated Sub System An agency wishes to affiliate their radio system with WISCOM through an ISSI or gateway. Level 5 Integrated Build out to Increase Coverage and/or Capacity An agency wishes to purchase and construct additional coverage and/or capacity for WISCOM in order to meet their needs. Level 6 Data Use (future) 13

29 COUNTY DISPATCH ACCESS Control Station Gateway Console APPROVAL All user agencies and radios operating on WISCOM must be pre-approved and registered through the submittal of an application form to the system administrator. The application form can be found in Attachment. Applications for Level 1 and 2 will be handled by the system administrator and reported to the SSMG. Applications for Level 3 or higher will be reviewed by the SSMG. DEFINITIONS The SSMG has established standard naming conventions and standardized language terminologies to be used within published documentation for WISCOM. Public safety communications systems terminology varies with the technology implemented. WISCOM uses Project 25 trunking architecture. As such, much of the language contained in policy and procedure manuals references that technology. Other references are from accepted operational standards published by the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO) training manuals and operations guides. The purpose of this policy is to define relevant language to be used and to help clarify terms used throughout the standards, protocols and procedures manual. The definitions in this policy apply only in the context of WISCOM. Talkgroup - A talkgroup is a channel established on a trunking system. Talkgroup is sometimes abbreviated as TG. Statewide and Regional Mutual Aid Interoperability Talk Groups - Statewide and regional mutual aid talkgroups are set-aside for communicating among multiple agencies. Regional talkgroups can be accessed at any tower site in the region and are used when the potential participants in the conversation do not have a common local talkgroup. Statewide talkgroups can be accessed at any tower site in the system and are used when the potential participants in the conversation may be located in more than one region. Radios should be programmed with statewide mutual aid TGs STAC1 through STAC8 and the regional mutual aid TGs for their region RTACx1 through RTACx4. This will provide statewide and regional interoperability between all users of WISCOM. [this belongs elsewhere?] Backbone System - The primary connectivity mechanism of a hierarchical distributed system. All systems which have a connectivity to an intermediate system on the backbone are assured of connectivity to each other. The WISCOM core system serves as a backbone to connect other communications systems to improve interoperability. Control Station - A fixed station that communicates with the statewide system, usually connected to a dispatch console either as the primary dispatch radio or used to enable mutual aid patches. 14

30 Critical Operations - Governmental, quasi-governmental and non-governmental voice communications operations designated by the SSMG as authorized users who rely upon a functioning two-way radio communications system. Unavailability, degradation, delay, partial or complete failure, or failure, in system operations would significantly impact the successful operations of the users. Logging - Audio recording of radio communications including date/time stamp or other data. Mobile Radio - A station in the mobile service, generally installed in a vehicle, intended to be used while in motion or during halts at unspecified points. Mobile Service - A service of radio communication between mobile and base stations, or between mobile stations. Patch - Permanent (hard) Patch: A connection between two or more audio resources, which is fixed and cannot be controlled or edited by the dispatcher. Manual (soft) Patch: A connection between two or more audio resources, which is setup and controlled by the dispatcher. The dispatcher owning the patch can add & delete resources as needed. Portable Radio - A station that is completely freestanding and may be hand-carried, or worn by the radio user, or mounted in a temporary fashion in a vehicle through the use of a charger or other repeater device permanently mounted within the vehicle. Public Safety - Government or non-government functions that operate to serve and protect the general welfare of the general public primarily from physical danger. In the context of the radio system, public safety means eligible public, quasi-public or private law enforcement, fire and emergency medical service agencies. SSMG may include personnel of agencies that work directly with or under public safety personnel including, but not limited to, emergency management, natural resources and environmental enforcement personnel, non-licensed public officials with statutory or local ordinance compliance authorities, officers and officials of the court and corrections, public agency security personnel, private security personnel working under contract with public or quasi public security services and those individuals who support public safety operations under special operations or circumstances as determined by the host public safety agency. Public Service - Services provided by public, quasi-public or private entity. A service provided by a private entity is public service if acting under authority of a public quasipublic entity. Any other legally authorized and eligible governmental and quasigovernmental radio system users not otherwise included within the scope of Public Safety. This would include, but not be limited to, public works, transportation, transit operations, environmental management, public and environmental health, parks and recreation, public schools and higher institutions, public libraries, facilities maintenance, building inspection, engineering and zoning, planning and development, general government administration, health and social services and those personnel or service providers under contract to provide or support such services to an eligible governmental or quasi government radio system user. The term Public Service is not used in relation 15

31 to WISCOM; all users defined in this paragraph will be considered to be Public Safety agencies. Regional System - A public safety communication system that serves multiple counties. Simulcast Cluster - A group of radio frequency (RF) sites that function as a single site in transmit and receive. Site - A radio communications tower or other structure that is equipped with WISCOM trunking equipment. Sub-System - A system that connects to the WISCOM system. System Administrator The individual acting on behalf of SSMG who is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the WISCOM system. Sub-System Administrators: Individuals responsible for the day to day radio subsystem operations of a participating agency System: The WISCOM network. INTEROPERABILITY TALKGROUPS One of the most significant benefits of WISCOM is the ability for multiple agencies to coordinate their efforts via a shared communications system. Agencies that need to communicate may do so on each other s talkgroups or may use the interoperability talkgroups that are created by SSMG. In order to enable agencies to quickly and easily communicate, SSMG has developed policies for use of interoperability talkgroups. Four interoperability talkgroups will be assigned in each of the six interoperability regions. (Interoperability regions are based on Wisconsin Emergency Management regions.) These are wide area mutual aid/special event talkgroups that will be shared by all public safety agencies. If possible, in order to avoid conflicts, interoperability talkgroups should be reserved from the assigning agency (TBD) prior to use. In order to facilitate interoperability and eliminate duplication of special use talkgroups, four talkgroups will be dedicated to interoperability and general use in each of the following regions: Southwest Southeast East Central North Central Northwest In addition to the regional talkgroups, there will be 8 statewide interoperability talkgroups available for use (STAC1 through STAC8). All agencies participating in WISCOM shall program, at a minimum, the regional interoperable talkgroups for the respective geographic area. For example: Public safety agencies in the Southeast Region shall program RTAC21, RTAC22, RTAC23, and RTAC24 into their subscriber equipment, dispatch consoles (wireline) and RF control stations. 16

32 While not mandatory, agencies should consider programming the surrounding regional interoperable talkgroups into their subscriber equipment. This will facilitate interoperable communications where incident response may be near regional boundaries. This policy establishes the regional interoperable talkgroup RTACx1 for call or dispatch of high priority radio traffic. All dispatch centers shall actively monitor their respective regional RTACx1 talkgroup. All portables and mobile radios shall have the regional interoperable talkgroups programmed into the scan list. In addition to regional interoperable talkgroups, all agencies participating in WISCOM should make every effort (equipment capabilities considered) to program the statewide mutual aid talkgroups into their radios as well. The statewide mutual aid talkgroups are: STAC1 through STAC8. STAC1 is designated as the statewide mutual aid calling channel. Dispatch consoles and RF control stations, where possible, should be programmed to support these talkgroups. Those dispatch centers shall actively monitor STAC1 for mutual aid assistance. One of the prime objectives of WISCOM is to establish interoperable communication capability statewide. In doing so, SSMG recognized a need to provide a series of common talkgroups that every agency participating in the system could maintain in their subscriber equipment (mobiles, portables, wireline and RF control station consoles). The WISCOM regional interoperable talkgroups were established to provide common talkgroups within a region for agencies that require mutual aid incident response, or other tactical/operational response to communicate without the need to program and reprogram dispatch talkgroups in the response region. This policy will establish procedures for routinely using the regional interoperable talkgroups, and provide operational guidelines for monitoring and management of the regional interoperable talkgroups during an incident. The IC created, under separate policy, 6 geographic regions. Four (4) region interoperable talkgroups are assigned to each of those regions. For example: Southwest Region has RTAC11, RTAC12, RTAC13, and RTAC14 regional interoperable talkgroups. Under the policy, it was anticipated that all agencies in the Southwest Region would program, at a minimum RTAC11, RTAC12, RTAC13, and RTAC14 into their subscriber equipment, dispatch consoles, and/or RF control stations. By programming these regional interoperable talkgroups, all first responders within the multi-county area would have a single point of interoperable communications. The creation of programming templates is very complex and requires considerable thought and planning. While having surrounding community dispatch talkgroups in radios achieves the highest level of interoperability it may not be the most economical. As more public safety agencies join WISCOM, new talkgroups will be added and frequent reprogramming of templates could result in significant expense. Often agencies add or modify existing dispatch talkgroups, which would require surrounding agencies to make similar changes to maintain the same level of interoperability. Therefore, the use of regional interoperable talkgroups can significantly reduce the need for reprogramming of templates as more public safety agencies join WISCOM. 17

33 Agencies are encouraged to use the regional interoperable talkgroup (RTACx1) for broadcast of incidents that are considered hot calls, or other calls that may require assistance from multiple agencies operating within the same geographical area. Based upon the type of console system, the ability to simulcast or transmit on both the primary dispatch talkgroup and RTACx1 can be easily accomplished. Dispatch centers should have procedures in place for setting the console to perform this function. Examples of hot call that would qualify for regional broadcast are: pursuits, injury accidents, officer requesting aid or assistance, bank alarms, robbery in progress and other typical emergency radio traffic. The ability for every public safety officer to receive these types of calls is critical. Agencies should not be hesitant in the use of RTACx1 for dispatch of these calls. To accommodate the region-wide broadcast of these dispatches, SSMG will cause every site in the region to transmit all traffic being broadcast on the RTACx1 talkgroup. Doing so will allow those mobiles, portables and RF Control stations scanning the RTACx1 talkgroup to receive the broadcast, regardless of their primary dispatch site affiliation. For example, in the Southeast Region (Jefferson, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha Counties), Southeast Region RTAC11 will be broadcast at these towers: Delafield, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Spring Prairie, and Union Grove. In keeping with SSMG policy to extend regional interoperable talkgroup affiliation to tower sites in counties adjacent to the region, the following sites will also have a channel activated for broadcast of RTAC11 traffic: Mauthe Lake and Rubicon COMMAND AND CONTROL As a mutual aid or interoperable incident is established (often long-term situations), and it is determined that extended interoperable communications is required, the agency with incident command shall request participating agency personnel to move to a Regional Tactical talkgroup, RTACx2, RTACx3, or RTACx4, depending upon availability. This migration is critical in order to free up RTACx1 for other interoperable traffic (particularly hot calls), and minimize channel usage at sites not required for communications. Example text of a dispatch message requesting units to move from RTACx1: Attention all units responding to XXXX, switch to RTACx2 for all traffic related to this incident. Authority XXXX County Sheriff At the completion of the interoperable incident, users should be notified to switch their radios back to their primary dispatch talkgroup. NOTE: The use of this technology and the interoperable talkgroups does not alleviate the protocol for a dispatcher to contact other dispatch centers for requesting aid or assistance. PRESERVING VALUABLE SYSTEM RESOURCES One of the most valuable resources in the WISCOM system is the availability of sufficient voice channels at each communication site. The system features support roaming from tower site to tower site without users having to manually switch subscriber 18

34 units as they migrate from site to site. The trunking technology allows communication throughout the state. Roaming technology enables users to monitor their home talkgroups while traveling throughout the system. Utilization of the system in this manner, while convenient to the subscriber, presents the potential of overloading the communications channels available at a given site. While it is important to provide a mechanism for statewide interoperable communications for subscribers who roam throughout the system, it must be realized that the overall system design (channel capacity at each site) has been based upon the anticipated number of public safety personnel in the area to be served by the site. The ability for subscribers to routinely monitor any localized talkgroup not normally affiliated to that tower site, system-wide, may cause available channels to be busy for all users of the site. An example would be a large concentration of members of local, county or state users meeting in the Wisconsin Dells area, each wishing to monitor home agency talkgroup(s). Most of these users would be affiliated with the Baraboo tower. As more subscribers travel in to the area and affiliate with the site(s), channels would become saturated resulting in system busies for local users who are handling local public safety incidents. To address this situation, most local talkgroups do not work on towers outside the home area. To the extent that the WISCOM system supports communications outside users home area, users should limit communication outside home area to extremely necessary transmissions. Alternative methods of communicating with home dispatchers have been provided via the Itinerant talkgroups. The ability to communicate with a dispatch center from outside the normal dispatch area can generally be accommodated through the use of regional talkgroups or one of the statewide mutual aid talkgroups. PRIVATE CALLS A Private Call permits two radios to directly communicate with one another without using a talkgroup. Although potentially a useful feature, unchecked private calls can quickly overwhelm the system and render normal or emergency communications impossible. A radio site can support only as many simultaneous private calls as there are voice channels at that site. In order for a user to initiate a private call, the following must both be true: 1) the radio must be programmed to allow private calls, and 2) the user s profile in the system must enable private calls. The system is unable to restrict private calls to specific channels; unchecked use of private calls can severely impact all users on a site. A private call between two users will consume a radio channel at each site with which the users are affiliated for the duration of the conversation. If the private call users are at two different sites, two separate radio channels (one at each site) will be unavailable to other users for the duration of the private call. At a site with three voice channels, six users in three private calls could prevent all other users from communicating on that site. Users involved in a private call 19

35 will not receive calls from their dispatcher or their talkgroup. Private calls are simplex; only one user can talk at a time. Private calls are not recorded. In order to conserve our scarce frequency resources, agencies should avoid making private calls part of their standard operating procedure. If needed, the ability to initiate private calls should be restricted to supervisory personnel. The private call feature will be limited to Supervisory personnel. Private calls will have the lowest priority on the system. The duration of private calls will be limited. System managers will monitor private calls for appropriateness. SSMG reserves the right to disable the private call feature if its use is inappropriate or adversely impacts other users. In times of extreme system usage, private calls may also be prohibited. RADIO UNIT IDENTIFIERS Radio IDs are 7 digit numbers that range from to Radio IDs must be unique. Typically, radios equipped with a display will show the ID of the radio being received. The State of Wisconsin has established this plan for Project 25 digital radio unit IDs. This is the identification number that is programmed into the radio and can be decoded by receiving units. The purpose of this plan is to provide a logical plan for the assignment of unique radio identifiers to all potential Project 25 digital capable radios used by public safety agencies within the State of Wisconsin. The goal of the plan is to eliminate use of duplicate identifiers and maximize the benefit of the imbedded unit ID capability through the use of a number that is logically defined. This number can be tied to an alphanumeric display. The unit identifier consists of 7 numbers (in decimal format). A B C D E F G County Code Prefix Unit A B The first 2 digits will denote the county that the radio is based in or, for state and federal radios, the agency that owns it. C Counties, using the standard numbering (see Attachment 2) 73 Milwaukee County Transit System Reserved 80 Non Governmental Organizations (contact plan coordinator for assignment) State Agencies Federal Agencies The third digit is an optional prefix to differentiate between radios within a county that have the same unit number or radio call number, such as a mobile and portable assigned to an individual officer, or type of agencies. 0 Default or mobile radio 1 Portable radio 2 Control station or third radio assigned to an individual or unit 3 Fixed stations/bases/consoles/other 20

Some programming software may require use of hex format. TALKGROUP NAMES/ALIAS A Talkgroup is a resource on the system that permits a group of users to communicate with one another. Each talkgroup on the system is assigned a 5 digit talkgroup number when it is created. Talkgroup IDs are 5 digit numbers that range from to Talkgroup IDs are unique; the talkgroup aliases for a talkgroup ID should be consistent in all radios! Programming of aliases is an agency responsibility. SSMG has developed these policies for managing talkgroup aliases. In order to facilitate interoperability and eliminate duplication of talkgroup aliases, SSMG requires that each of the talkgroup aliases begin with the corresponding two letter county identifier as used in the TIME System and listed in the Interoperability ID Plan. Use the format CCTTTT where: CC is a two digit COUNTY identifier as shown in the Interoperability ID Plan. State agencies do not require this identifier. 21

37 TTTT is a variable length alphanumeric TALKGROUP identifier. This can be any length that an agency desires, but for readability in a variety of radios, SSMG suggests that the identifier be the minimum length necessary, e.g., 2 to 6 letters. The agency identifier, when combined with the county identifier, must be unique throughout the system. Selected identifiers will be compared to existing identifiers to ensure against duplication. Abbreviate aliases only when absolutely necessary. Using this convention, examples of talkgroup aliases for city and county agencies are: DOBDFD PCSO1 FDRIPD Beaver Dam Fire Department talkgroup Pierce County Sheriff s Office talkgroup Ripon Police Department talkgroup Examples of state and federal agency talkgroup prefixes are: State Agencies Using this convention, examples of talkgroup aliases for state and federal agencies could be: DNRBRF WSP2DISP FBIOPS Department of Natural Resources Black River Falls talkgroup State Patrol Post 2 Dispatch talkgroup Federal Bureau of Investigation operations talkgroup 22

46 3.2 Inter-System Shared Channel(s) Policies and Procedures Definition of a Statewide System Shared Channel Inter-system shared channels refer to common frequencies/talkgroups established and programmed into radios to provide interoperable communications among agencies using different radio systems. Channel, in this context, refers to the name of a common frequency/talkgroup visually displayed on a user s radio. Statewide Inter-System Shared Channel Technology Overview Specific inter-system shared interoperable communication channels available within the county are listed in the tables below. More detailed information on each channel is documented in Appendix C. County-wide Inter-System Interoperability Channel(s) Table 12: Inter-System Shared Channel(s) DELETE??

It operates under appropriate Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations and is administered by the State of Wisconsin through the State Patrol Bureau of Communications. The Wisconsin Chapter of the Association of Public Safety VHF 31

47 Communications Officials (APCO) Interagency Communications Committee (Committee) exercises general supervision and disciplinary control. Eligibility Participation in MARC is open to all public safety and local government agencies, including law enforcement, fire, EMS, DPW, highway maintenance, emergency government, forestry, and other state agencies. Application Procedures Requests for authorization on MARC will be submitted to the Wisconsin State Patrol Bureau of Communications, POB 7912, Madison WI All mobiles will be operated under the State held license WNPG812. Requests should include the number of radios to be authorized. Requests for mobile authorizations from eligible agencies will be processed immediately. All base and repeater stations will be licensed by the local agency. Requests for authorizations for base, repeater, portable repeater, and control stations should include the FCC license application form. Usage MARC is a mutual aid channel for use by all public safety and local government agencies involved in any incident requiring a multi-discipline response where no other common frequency exists between responding agencies. This channel is for on scene command and coordination. It is intended that this channel will facilitate communications when the Incident Command System is used. Emergency traffic has priority. MARC supports both repeater and simplex (radio to radio direct) operation. The repeater channel name is MARC 1 and the simplex channel name is MARC 2. MARC 2 is the common landing zone coordination channel for communications between medical helicopters responding to an incident scene and ground units. Mobiles and Portables MARC is designed primarily for short range mobile to mobile use. All public safety and local government VHF radios should include the MARC channels. Authorized mobiles are required to have MARC 2 and are highly encouraged to have MARC 1. MARC is a primary interoperability resource in Wisconsin and there is an expectation that all VHF radios will be equipped with these channels. Mobiles will identify with the name of their agency and their unit number. All mobile units will identify with the statewide callsign after each conversation. In 2006 WISTAC 1 ( ) was eliminated due to the MABAS communications plan use of as IFERN. WISTAC 2 and 3 have been renamed to MARC 3 and 4. Base Stations Base operation is permitted on and is secondary to mobile use. Base station technical parameters will be limited to that which is necessary to cover the applicant agency s jurisdiction. Patch capability from other channels to/from MARC is not permitted without prior authorization. Base stations may be restricted in some state border areas due to adjacent state use. Automatic callsign identifiers are not permitted. 32

48 Control Stations Any eligible agency may operate, with approval and licensing, a low power 20 foot rule control station (on ) for use when an area repeater is activated. Repeaters Repeater operation is secondary to mobile use. Each county will be authorized one controlling agency, normally the countywide dispatch center, to provide countywide repeater coverage. This agency must also provide 24 hour monitoring of the channel. Repeaters and the associated communications centers are required to monitor both MARC 1 and MARC 2. Repeaters will be disabled until requested to be turned on by an Incident Commander or other user. Only one repeater may be turned on in a given area at one time. All communications centers operating repeaters are required to cooperate to minimize interference and must have the ability to turn the repeater function on and off at any time. Base station technical parameters will be limited to that which is necessary to cover the applicant agency s jurisdiction. Long term patches from other channels to/from MARC are not permitted without prior authorization. Repeaters may be restricted in some state border areas due to adjacent state use. Recommended specifications for fixed repeaters include: - Wireline or microwave control between dispatch center and repeater - Second receiver to monitor MARC 2 - Satellite voting receivers are desirable in order to provide good portable radio coverage - DTMF decode capability on the repeater for On, Off, and Universal Off control - Contact the state frequency coordinator for DTMF code assignments. - Voice identifier to transmit callsign and county or site name (or number) every half hour while the station is in repeat mode Automatic callsign identifiers are not permitted when the station is not in the repeater mode. A goal of the State Interoperability Executive Committee s plan is to have MARC repeater capability in each county and access to MARC repeaters in each county dispatch center. Portable Repeaters Any eligible agency may operate, with approval and licensing, a low power portable repeater for temporary use at a specific incident.

Plain Language All interoperable communications during multi-agency, multidiscipline incidents will be in plain language. Avoid using radio codes, acronyms, and abbreviations as they may cause confusion between agencies. Ensure that all verbal requests for assistance or backup specify the reason for the request. 38

54 Unit Identification Announce your home agency prior to announcing your unit identifier during interoperable communication situations. Encryption All encrypted radios users must operate in a clear mode when a gateway is used, unless otherwise arranged in advance. Never assume encryption carries across the gateway. Monitoring The Incident Commander, or their designee, will ensure that each activated interoperability channel is monitored consistently while in use. Statewide Gateway Communications Request The COML and/or IC must be aware that activating multiple gateways to support an incident can result in mutual interference. Interference issues are best resolved by the technical support team assigned to the gateways. The agency requesting the use of a fixed or mobile gateway device for incident/event communications support should document and provide the following information to the owning gateway agency POC, on request: Requesting agency On-scene agencies requiring interoperability Incident/event type (e.g., wild land fire, etc.) Equipment required - Make and model of radios for required cable interface Expected duration of event Location required/access information Incident POC User/requestor and/or servicing dispatch contact phone number Additional support services requested (e.g., gateway operator, generator, etc.) Statewide Mobile Gateway Deployment Procedures Upon receiving a request for the deployment of a mobile gateway, the owning agency dispatcher should follow these deployment procedures: Contact the on-call mobile gateway operator/technician responsible for mobile gateway deployment. Dispatch the mobile gateway operator to the incident scene. Inform the requesting agency that the mobile gateway is en route and provide an estimated time of arrival (ETA), if available. The mobile gateway operator should follow these deployment procedures: Provide dispatch with an ETA at the incident and method of communications while en route (e.g., designated radio channel, cell number). Retrieve the dedicated unit and mobile gateway from its storage location and deliver it to the incident scene 39

55 Report to the Check-in point on arrival. Once on-scene, establish patches via the mobile gateway in accordance with the Gateway Activation Procedures listed above. Statewide Gateway Activation Procedures Once the owning agency grants authorization to use their fixed gateway, the statewide procedures for establishing communications connectivity are: Select a channel or talkgroup on the home system for use in the gateway patch. Verify the system-wide availability of required resources (coordinate among control point dispatchers). Provide radio call sign/designator information to connected agencies as needed. Assign the requested unit/agency to that channel or talkgroup. Connect the agency to the appropriate talkgroup. Announce to users that interoperability is activated. Optional: identify users on the interoperability channel using their agency name and unit identifier through a roll call. Monitor the interoperability channel to address requests. Statewide Gateway Deactivation Procedures When the gateway connection(s) is (are) no longer required, agencies should follow these deactivation procedures: Contact the monitoring dispatcher (for fixed gateways) or the mobile gateway operator (for mobile gateways) to request patch/gateway deactivation. Announce over all patched channels/talkgroups that connections will be deactivated prior to the connection being disabled. Return all personnel to their appropriate home system channel assignments. Statewide Gateway Problem ID and Resolution During an incident: Report gateway problems to the owning agency dispatcher (for fixed gateways) or mobile gateway operator (for mobile gateways), who will follow established agency procedures to resolve the problem. Following an incident, the following general problem ID and resolution processes apply to all county gateways: Report any problems with the gateway to the appropriate POC for that agency listed in Appendix D. The POC will be responsible for ensuring effective resolution to problems that exist with the gateway. 40

56 Statewide Gateway Limitations Interoperability provided through a gateway can connect participating agency responders but has the following limitations: The number of simultaneous patches that can be supported by the gateway will be limited by switch capacity and the number of lines. A limited number of patches can be supported simultaneously. Likewise, a limited number of patches involving resources that are accessed through a communications center console may be supported simultaneously. Home system coverage may limit communications. Gateway users must be within the footprint of their coverage area. In some cases agencies not permanently configured on a given gateway will require additional planning to establish interoperable communications through that gateway. Statewide Gateway Test Procedures To ensure that equipment components of the gateway operate properly, each agency will participate in the following testing procedure: Representatives from multiple agencies should meet on a regular basis to test each gateway. Testing should include deployment (mobile only), setup, operation, and deactivation of each gateway. If an issue or problem is identified during the testing procedure, determine who will take corrective action. If the issue or problem cannot be resolved, contact the appropriate technical personnel to address the issue or problem Wisconsin Emergency Management (2 Units) This section provides individualized guidance on how to request, deploy, and use specific Wisconsin State gateways.

64 Deployed equipment may include battery chargers to support extended deployments. Personnel may be available to transport equipment to the incident scene. Technicians may be available for on-scene support during the deployment. Cache radios should be programmed with the channels listed in Appendix C appropriate to the frequency band capability of the radio. Statewide Radio Cache Rules of Use The following are general rules of use and apply to all Wisconsin State radio caches: National Incident Management System Use an Incident Command System (ICS) compliant with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) when using any county interoperability resource. Plain Language All interoperable communications during multi-agency, multidiscipline incidents will be in plain language. Avoid using radio codes, acronyms, and abbreviations as they may cause confusion between agencies. Ensure that all verbal requests for assistance or backup specify the reason for the request. Unit Identification Announce your home agency prior to announcing your unit identifier during interoperable communication situations. Equipment Return The requesting agency is responsible for the return of any cache radios/equipment in the condition that they were received. Statewide Radio Cache Request The Incident Commander, or their designee, determines when a situation exists that requires the use of a state radio cache and notifies the appropriate dispatch center. The dispatch center will follow internal agency procedures to contact the COML or Radio Cache Agency POC and relay pertinent information regarding the event. The requesting agency documents and provides the following information to the Radio Cache Agency POC, on request: Requesting agency On-scene agencies requiring interoperability Incident/event type of event (e.g., wild land fire, etc.) Equipment requirements Expected duration of event Location required/access information Incident POC User/requestor and/or servicing dispatch contact phone number Additional support services requested (e.g., technician, chargers, etc.) The Radio Cache Agency determines what radio caches are available for use, identifies a specific cache, activates that cache, and coordinates the cache deployment with the requesting agency IC or their designee. 49

65 Statewide Radio Cache Equipment Activation Upon receiving a request for the deployment of a radio cache, the owning agency dispatcher should follow these deployment procedures: Contact the on-call POC responsible for radio cache deployment. Dispatch the radio cache technician (or an approved designee) to the incident scene. Inform the requesting agency that the radio cache is en route and provide an estimated time of arrival (ETA), if available. The radio cache technician (or designee) should follow these deployment procedures: Provide dispatch with an ETA at the incident. Retrieve the radio cache from its storage location and arrange for delivery to the incident scene. Report to the Check-in point on arrival. Once on-scene, sign the cache over to the requesting agency for incident use or, if assigned to remain on scene, coordinate radio cache deployment procedures with the Communications Unit. o Each radio in the radio cache will have a unique identification number for inventory tracking. Ask the receiving agency to sign a property transfer form if they take responsibility for managing the radio cache on scene. o The requesting IC, or their designee, will be responsible for: Supporting radio deployments on-scene Maintaining a record of each user and agency to whom a radio and associated accessories have been distributed Documenting the identification number of each radio deployed Documenting the channel(s) in use Each user and/or agency that receives a radio from the radio cache will be responsible for returning that radio and all associated accessories to the cache at the end of the incident. Statewide Radio Cache Equipment Deactivation When the radio cache is no longer required, agencies should follow these deactivation procedures: Coordinate the return of all cache radios to the Communications Unit. The Communications Unit will be responsible for inventorying all radios and accessories returned to the cache. Before leaving the incident scene, the Communications Unit will determine if any radios have not been returned to the radio cache and note the user and agency to which the radio was distributed. Provide this information to the IC or their designee. 50

66 If the missing radios cannot be recovered at the incident scene, the Communications Unit will provide this information to the Radio Cache Agency POC for resolution. County-wide Radio Cache Problem ID and Resolution During an incident: Report radio cache problems to the radio cache technician or their designee who will follow established agency procedures to resolve the problem.

100 5 CASM 5.1 Overview The Communication Assets Survey and Mapping (CASM) tool provides the ability for representatives of public safety agencies within an area or State to collect, store, and visualize data about agencies, communication assets, and how agencies use those assets. The purpose of CASM is to: Provide a single repository for information about land mobile radio systems, other interoperability methods, and how they are used by public safety agencies within a state or area. Provide a method to display the data. Provide tools to analyze the data and visualize interoperability gaps in accordance with the Interoperability Continuum framework. The CASM tool is composed of two components: the Communication Assets Survey (CAS) and the Communication Assets Mapping (CAM) tool. The CAS component provides a means to enter, edit, and delete information about agencies, communication assets (such as radio systems, dispatch centers, mutual aid channels/systems, gateways and radio caches), and agency usage of those assets. The CAM component provides a means to display this information in a map-based interface and provides analysis tools for displaying agency-to-agency interoperability, including interoperability gaps, in various ways. The CASM tool is web-based and requires the user to have an active internet connection in order to access both the CAS and CAM components. CAS is a website that may be accessed via any internet browser, such as Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or Mozilla Firefox. CAM is a client application that must be downloaded, installed, and executed on the user s computer. A user must have internet access in order to operate CAM. Authorization to view data for a particular area or State is controlled by the Wisconsin State Administrative Manager (AM); each user must have a user name and password in order to login. The CASM AM POC is listed in the following table: Table 31: CASM AM POC Information Name Phone Area of Responsibility David Spenner David.spenner@wisconsin.gov Statewide Jennifer Lord jennifer.lord@wi.gov Statewide Carl Guse carl.guse@dot.wi.gov Statewide 85

120 C.1 Wisconsin State Inter-system Shared Channel(s) General Guide for Priority Implementation of Channels This chart provides a general guide for the priority of implementation of channels in radios that do not have sufficient capacity to include all statewide interoperability channels. In radios that have 16 channel zones, it is generally suggested that the most used channels be included in the 1st zone, other Priority 1 through 12 channels be included in the 2nd zone and Priority 13 through 24 channels be included in the 3rd zone.

122 LIST OF 700 MHz NARROWBAND LOW POWER FREQUENCIES Pursuant to 2 nd Report & Order (Released August 10, 2007) Effective October 23, 2007 In the Third Report & Order in Docket 96-86, the FCC allocated twenty-four 6.25 khz frequency pairs for low power, on-site operations such as fireground. Analog primary operations are permitted on these frequencies. When allocating for analog use, 12.5 khz bandwidth would be required. Operation on these frequencies is limited to 2 watts ERP and antenna height it limited to 20 above ground. (It has been proposed that these limits be increased.) Six (three 12.5 khz) of these frequency pairs are for nationwide itinerant use and are not subject to Regional Planning. The remaining 18 (nine 12.5 khz) low power frequency pairs are to be administered by the 700 MHz Regional Planning Committees. Interest has arisen from Region 54 fire service representatives to establish common channel naming and tone squelch for these channels in order to accommodate common usage on the fireground and other tactical situations. The following is a draft proposal to address this interest. Analog, 12.5 khz operation with a common tone squelch of Hz would be used on all frequencies. Each channel has been given a discipline indicator to allow users some channels to focus on, however, all nine channels would be available for assignment as needed. Within each discipline group, frequency separation has been provided in order to reduce interference. C-4
