State Interoperability Executive Committee February 19,
Substantially completed in 1997 254 user agencies About 17,000 radios on system ◦ Approximately 78% used by first responders Known coverage issues 8
Today’s Motorola Land Mobile Radio System is wearing out at same time we are losing system support ◦ System is aging; increasing repairs ◦ Vendor stopping all sales of spare parts and all repairs of used parts by Jan 01, 2019 ◦ Ability to keep system running smoothly is at risk Doesn’t cover everywhere people live, work or play or everywhere responders must respond Capacity is strained during major events 9
Over 4 years 27 meetings attended by over 150 users + system managers Interviews Meetings with police and fire chiefs Policy (Steering) Committee – 4 co-owners Technical work ◦ Subcommittee ◦ Alternatives analysis ◦ Helped draft RFP ◦ Training ◦ Consultation 10
Objective, measureable requirements-based RFP; testing Separate scoring of plan and costs Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network (PSERN) Project will build a new 800 MHz P25 Phase 2 land mobile radio system with connections to regional systems Executive has proposed a 9 year levy lid lift, $.07 per $1,000 assessed value to fund ◦ Budget w/o financing = $246 million ◦ Financing = $27 million ◦ Total = $273 million 11

Questions? 21
Page 22 PSERN – SIEC Action? “The SIEC agrees that King County’s existing public safety emergency network is aging and will lose all vendor support in This poses a significant risk of future failure. The SIEC endorses the Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network (PSERN) replacement plan as presented at the SIEC’s February 19 meeting as consistent with the SIEC’s 2005 Technical Implementation Plan (TIP) and current policies specifically including the RCW’s P25 technical requirements, and as vitally necessary for the continued safety of responders and the public in King County.”

Page 30 Stakeholder Committee DRAFT - Mission Statement: Stakeholder Committee The Washington OneNet (WON) Stakeholder Committee is comprised of state, local, and tribal officials and leaders who are subject matter experts in how their agencies operate both in response to daily incidents and during disasters. The stakeholder committee shall provide input on public policy; regulatory impediments; and political, cultural, and economic opportunities and barriers. This group will help define and identify potential users and establish network prioritization. The committee will provide input to the SIEC, OneNet, and FirstNet regarding matters related to the design of a statewide, wireless, broadband network dedicated to public safety. This input will result in a State Plan for FirstNet in Washington. The Stakeholder Committee will consider factors such as: coverage maps (existing and needed) incident types and locations, e.g. crimes, fires, 911 calls, electrical power and water outages devices and device form factors device capabilities (e.g.. printing) types of users to be allowed access to the network; cost of service, devices, apps and other cost factors phased build-out of the network governance and management of the network, including provisioning and training of users, apps and devices which apps should be available on the network and which apps might be standardized for statewide use
Page 31 Technical Committee DRAFT - Mission Statement: Technical Committee The Washington OneNet Technical Committee serves as the state’s subject matter experts to advise and assist with designing FirstNet in Washington, including technical details necessary to deploy, operate, and manage the network. The technical committee is comprised of industry and technology professionals from local, state, and tribal entities as well as, professionals from compatible commercial industries with an understanding of systems data interoperability. In order to address all aspects of an interoperable, statewide network, the technical committee will work closely with the SIEC, OneNet, FirstNet’s local team, and the stakeholder and operational committees to build a State Plan for FirstNet in Washington. The technical committee will provide input on and consider factors such as: throughput and bandwidth in general and specifically as they relate to coverage. interface specifications and standards for the network and for devices. evolution roadmap of LTE and FirstNet in Washington. technical details of priority management. deployables which potentially bring additional coverage during major incidents or bring coverage in remote areas; this specifically includes the potential use of evolved packet cores in remote areas. application performance, behavior and testing.
Page 32 Operational DRAFT - Mission Statement: Operational Committee The Operational Committee will explore and make recommendations to the SIEC regarding operational aspects of FirstNet’s dedicated Public Safety Wireless Broadband Network in Washington State. The Committee will consider such issues as network management/prioritization during critical incidents and normal use; availability and use of multi-disciplinary applications on the network; establishing operational guidelines when interfacing with local, state, federal, and military entities; other topics that might be referred to the Committee to take advantage of the experience, background, and training of its members. The composition of the Operational Committee is predicated on the rationale that any event that may create the need to prioritize network access would likely be of a significant, critical nature and involve more than one of the below listed functions. Draft representation criteria: Persons who are or would be in a position to make decisions for their respective entities in situations of competing interests Persons who have ICS and Unified Command training Persons who have background and experience with large scale and or significant incidents
Page 33 Tribal Outreach FirstNet Regional Tribal Summit Proposed: Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNI) February 2-5, 2015 Lincoln City, OR Joint Session: Washington, Oregon & Idaho Potential Agenda Items: a.A lot of unique challenges in Indian Country b.Relationship of tribal law enforcement to outside law enforcement and data/information sharing or not? c.Do most tribes use outside fire departments and paramedics? How do those responders communicate with tribal public health? d.Sharing of data - electronic health records - between outside responders and tribal public health e.What is the relationship between tribal leaders/responders and outside 911? Data sharing there? f.Also think of all the unique health challenges in Indian communities. g.Other problems include smuggling and cross-border law enforcement issues. h.Fisheries - is there a public safety hook here? i.Expanded group of responders in some tribes: public works, transportation, utilities, e.g. Yakama and Colville.

Page 36 WASPC Fall Training Training Potential Synergies between FirstNet and WASPC 2015 Legislative Agenda Data Interoperability: Body-Worn Cameras Advancements in technology now enable law enforcement agencies to equip their officers with body-worn cameras. Body-worn cameras offer additional information regarding interactions between law enforcement officers and the public. The current state of laws impede, rather than encourage, law enforcement’s use of this technology. WASPC will work with the Legislature to craft legislation that removes barriers to law enforcement agencies’ use of body-worn cameras.
