TITLE: Resolution /Oyd ~In support of petition from Los Angeles
County Sheriff to the Federal Communications Commission
,TIED BY: Director of Public Safet~~!~ (4/5ths Yote: Yes No X )
Th Sheriff of Los Angeles County has submitted a petition to the Federal
Co unications Commission requesting that additional radio frequencies be
as igned to public safety agencies on a nationwide basis. This petition
su ports a plan adopted by the California Peace Officers' Association and
wh ch is for the benefit of all public safety agencies. The petition is being
op osed primarily by the entertainment and television industry. The
Ca ifornia Peace Officers' Association has requested all state public safety
ag ncies to seek a supporting resolution from their governing bodies.
Th refore, it is my
RE OMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the resolution in support of
th petition.
B RDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N.A.
DISCUSSION:
P esently we have only one radio channel each for Police and Fire use. The
F re channel is a County mutual aid frequency shared with several other fire
a encies. Our greatest problem is attempting to handle an ever-increasing
d mand for service and still handle major incidents, tactical problems and
d sasters with but one frequency each for Police and Fire. We urgently need a
t ctical frequency which will allow covering the unusual events while still
m intaining routine communications. Presently, at night, when calls for
s rvice are generally greater in number and urgency, we are able to use the
P blic Works frequency. To date we have been able to do this without too much
