These systems provide critical links amongst responders, both within a single discipline, such as law enforcement, and across disciplines, connecting law enforcement to fire and EMS responders. Critical emergency information is relayed from dispatch to the responders, providing them with a clear vision of what is occurring at the scene. This allows the responders to form a response plan and make informed decisions prior to arriving on scene. This preemptive information, relayed in an accurate and reliable manner across a robust radio network ensures that responders can better provide service in a manner that is reliable and safe for both them and the public. It also provides for reliable communications across jurisdictions as emergency scenes grow, ensuring reliable regional response to emergencies.</span>
