• The dispatch centers shall coordinate in accordance with the following protocol: <br /> Interoperability Options/Issues <br /> 1. Pre-designate EPD 4 as the metro law enforcement channel for <br /> Eugene & Springfield police departments. <br /> • Dispatchers within City of jurisdiction for incident will be <br /> responsible for facilitating/monitoring radio transmissions <br /> • ICS radio procedures-will be the preferred operating procedure. <br /> Incident commanders will return to the dispatch frequency to <br /> request additional resources, etc. <br /> 2. The UHF frequency license currently held in reserve by LCOG <br /> will be pre-designated as the "Command Frequency" for the cities of <br /> Eugene and Springfield. <br /> • Licensing of the frequency 453.925 MHz will be handled by the <br /> City of Eugene. <br /> • .Need to determine coverage and promulgate information for use <br /> by incident commanders. <br /> 3. The cities have identified the need to establish cross band <br /> frequencies for future use. <br /> • Springfield PD will hold 2 VHF frequencies (currently used by <br /> Springfield PW) <br /> • Eugene will apply for two UHF frequencies <br /> • An additional contingency for the present could be that <br /> Springfield will cross band one of their new UHF frequencies <br /> (PW) with one of their vacated VHF frequencies for a metro <br /> cross band pair. <br /> <br /> Communications Centers Back Up <br /> 1. Central Lane CC will pre-designate EPD 4 for SPD back up. <br /> • Example for doing this: SPD loses their two frequencies due to a <br /> hardware failure in the dispatch center or at both <br /> repeater sites. <br /> • In the event that EPD 4 is unavailable, the following frequency <br /> would be an alternative: EPD 5. <br /> 9 <br /> - <br /> <br />
