Monitoring since 1982, using radios since 1991.
Yearly Training on the radio system in use should be mandatory on all systems. There is no excuse in 2021 to not know how your tools function. IPSC here in IN is very good about not only regular reminder training, but constantly sends reminders about knowing how to find TG's and conventional mutual aids etc. Add to this they frequently remind folks always know where the radios are, make sure they are registered on the system, and to keep them in good working order. And have finally begun cracking down on "missing/lost/stolen" radios, and getting them locked out of the system. IDPS has even begun stunning radios that cause issues after three verbal warnings over air. They then announce that: "Radio XYZ, your radio has been stunned, and will no longer work. To get your radio reactivated, please take it to IDPSC as soon as possible."
