WORK SESSION TITLE: Radio Interoperability - FRCC
DEPARTMENT: Public Safety Communications
PERSON REQUESTING: Tina Powell
EXTENSTION: 2895
Has your Commissioner Coordinator or BOCC Chair approved the work session?
Yes, Commissioner Coordinator
Yes, BOCC Chair
Recommended length of time needed for discussion:
❑ 15 minutes ❑✓ 30 minutes ❑ other (list) :
In addition to yourself and the board, please list who should attend:
Cordero Bustos, Ryan Rose
Brief description of the issue: ❑ Informational only ❑ Action needed
In the past FRCC has not shared radio channels with agencies outside of Weld County. With the
cutover of TDMA occuring in Q2 of 2023, capacity will no longer be a concern. It is vital for interop
to share our radio channels with agencies that respond with Weld agencies.
Options for the board:
Approve: Improve interoperability and service to citizens and users.
Decline: Continue to operate as we are today with no channel -sharing. The consequences of this
are limited interoperability and inefficiencies in processes.
Recommendation to the board:
PS Communications/Wireless recommend channel sharing with departments that we interop with.
This can be done through controlled measures with fail safes put into place to protect the load on
the FRCC system. We would require agencies that request our channels to sign an agreement and
we can disconnect users remotely if they drag traffic to other locations. This WS is also to discuss
the history of FRCC.

FRCC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
SECTION 5 — System Improvements:
The FRCC was established in an effort to maintain up-to-date equipment, technology, and security. This
allows public safety entities to have access to reliable communications. Ensuring current equipment and
technology is in place should be considered a high priority for the radio system. However, the FRCC
radio system has many components. Because of this, proposals for new, modified, or upgraded
equipment should be revied and discussed. This is to ensure compliance with system release version,
capacity, licensing, impacts on the system, impacts on other members, coverage, security concerns, and
any other items that may impact performance and up -time for the radio system.
5.1 System Upgrades
Radio system release upgrades should be performed regularly to ensure the security of the system. The
frequency of the upgrades shall be determined by the features and updates in the newest release or a
contract with the vendor that allows upgrades to occur on a scheduled basis. The Primary Members
shall determine, based on the vendor provided materials, if an upgrade is needed at that time. At no
time shall the FRCC radio system become more than three (3) full system release versions behind.

Any Associate or Primary Member may add RF sites to the FRCC radio system. However, if an Associate
Member wishes to add an RF site, they must present the request to the FRCC deciding body. If a Primary
Member wishes to add an RF site, they must discuss it with the other Primary Member. All RF site
requests must include:
Site Location
Number of Channels
Frequencies
Backhaul Solution(s)
Cost
Timeline
Impact on Current System Resources
5.3 Modifying Resources at an Existing RF Site
Any modifications to how an existing RF site functions must be presented to the Associate and Primary
Members of the FRCC radio system. This is to ensure there will be no negative impact to all users. The
Primary Members must authorize any changes that affect how an RF site functions.
5.4 Dispatch Consoles
Any Associate Member or Primary Member may add consoles at their discretion. An agency adding
consoles should notify all Associate and Primary members, as a courtesy. Any member adding additional
consoles will be solely responsible for the backhaul, equipment, license, and installation costs of the
project.
Page 16
FRCC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Page 7
FRCC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
SECTION 7 — System Security:
The FRCC radio system should be considered as critical infrastructure. Physical and network security will
be of high importance to ensure the continuous operation of critical communications for public safety
personnel. Any personnel, or vendor, that will have access to the FRCC radio system must pass a criminal
history background check. This is including, but not limited to, access to radio system routers, switches,
servers, firewalls, RF sites, RF site equipment, dispatch consoles, and the ability to program and
provision subscriber units.
7.1 Radio System Network Devices
Hardening measures should be put into place, when available.
• Devices will be patched with the newest release of vendor vetted security updates.
• Devices will operate on the most recent, and vendor vetted, operating system.
• Devices will require a username and password unique to the technician.
• Devices will not have internet connectivity at any time.
• Network Management Clients, dispatch consoles, and IP logging equipment will be rebooted
monthly, at minimum.
USB devices should be scanned prior to placement on the radio system network device.
7.2 Vendor Access
