metro access for allied agencies

[E5911]

What is the established access frequency to connect with metro PD?
If the FBI, BLM rangers or other agency(not on the trunk) needed to connect with Metro units, how is it done?
Or does everyone just have APX radios

There is not an agreement in place between Metro and those federal agencies. Meaning there is no agreement for those agencies to access the Metro radio network. I assume that if they need to speak to each other, they would use one of the NIFOG frequencies.

BLM is able to talk on SNACC so I imagine they have access to Metro channels as well.

They might have an informal agreement. I requested all of the documents for all of the actual agreements and a bunch of agencies like North Las Vegas and the piute, and the TV stations all had agreements to access that network. But there wasn’t anything for any federal agency.

BLM LEOs have radios that can talk on the LVMPD 700MHz system. I expect they're usually monitoring the Admin channel. I suspect the handful of Vegas area joint task forces are also active on the LVMPD 700MHz system for operations.
