The overall responsibilities of the Division include acquisition, installation, repair and preventative maintenance of all radio equipment and systems. This ranges from the portable radios used by first responders and other government employees, the mobile radios installed in vehicles, and extends to the 24 sites that comprise the Single County-Wide Communications System and the 96 links that make up the Microwave backbone.
The Division acts as a liaison with other government and private entities to ensure coordination and to protect against radio frequency interference in communications systems. In addition, the Division maintains appropriate licenses and insures the system meets or exceeds all local, state, and federal requirements.
