Attachment A - Joint Agreement for 800 MHz CCCS <br />Page 58 of 83 <br />Interoperable/Mutual Aid Resources —These talkgroups/channels are established <br />interoperable or mutual aid resources available to all System users based upon specific <br />discipline (law, fire, general) and allow communications with non-CCCS System agencies <br />as needed. These talkgroups/channels include the ability to be patched to non-800 MHz <br />resources for greater interoperability. These talkgroups/channels are coordinated locally <br />through the Control One. <br />Procedure <br />The Lead Agency will control all talkgroup generation and access parameters. Agencies shall <br />immediately notify the Lead Agency when changes to an agency -specific talkgroup are required <br />or the talkgroup is no longer required. <br />Management <br />The Lead Agency is responsible for the management of the Talkgroup Ownership policy. <br />5.6 Talkgroup Sharing <br />Purpose or objective <br />Defines how System Partner Agencies can permit other agencies to access to their agency - <br />specific talkgroups. <br />Technical Background <br />Radios must be P25 compliant and compatible with the System. Refer to Section 4.13 of this <br />SOP for additional details on subscriber equipment standards. <br />Operational Context <br />Partner agencies have the authority and control to define who is allowed access to their agency - <br />specific talkgroups/channels. This process is accomplished with a formal written request to the <br />Lead Agency from the requesting agency which is passed to the agency -specific talkgroup <br />owner for approval. The request should include the specific talkgroup name desired and the <br />intended purpose and potential users of the talkgroup. <br />Protocol/Standard <br />Agency -specific talkgroups/channels shall not be programmed into any other radios without the <br />written permission from the controlling agency. Documented written approval letters shall be <br />maintained by the Lead Agency for each talkgroup sharing agreement. <br />Procedure <br />The Lead Agency working with the talkgroup `owner' will process the request and, upon <br />approval, make the necessary modifications to the requesting agency template. The Lead <br />Agency will maintain all supporting documentation regarding the requested change. All costs <br />associated with the template change and reprogramming will be borne by the requesting <br />agency. <br />Management <br />
