Interoperability Case Studies
Special Services District Interoperability Report
This report assesses interoperability capabilities of private, military, or quasi-governmental organizations that employ first responders (e.g., security guards or law enforcement officers, emergency medical technicians, or firefighters) to respond to emergency incidents in a defined area. It documents the state of interoperability between these special services district (SSD) public safety providers and governmental or other public safety agencies. Among its key findings, the report states that the majority of SSDs view interoperability with other public safety agencies as imperative and use commercial services as the primary means of communicating with these agencies.
