I had a chance to briefly read over the Mandel Commissions' Report on the Structure and Efficiency of State Government recently. On page 13 he mentions communications as follows:
"During the course of the Commission's evalutaion of the State's law enforcement agencies, there was a common issue raised concerning communication and interoperability between police agencies. The commission recommends that the state renew and reenergize its commitment to bulding a statewide radio system that would allow police, fire, and emergency medical personnel from varying jurisdictions to communicate. This effort should be completed in partnership with local and municipal governments.....ect....ect....ect....."
In summation: Mandel Commission want big statewide radio system.
I'm not sure if this topic is old hat or not so forgive me in advance for bringing it back up, but didnt the State start allocating money for some huge 700MHz system? Whatever happened to that? I know that wayyyyyyyyyyy back in the day they started to build a 800MHz Type I trunking system that was then abandoned and became the Baltimore County's two systems and the MD Port Authority's system, but i couldive sworn i heard something about a 700MHz system along the way...
