Appropriate provisions for redundancy be incorporated into the design and that back-up strategies be planned and executed in the event of outage at the single joint PSAP. 4. Every community within Dakota County participate in the single joint dispatch fadlity and that all public safety agencies migrate their two-way radio communications to the 800 MHz radio backbone. 5. A single set of appropriate central electronics dispatch center infrastructure be acquired and built to service the needs of the County and the individual jurisdictions through the joint dispatch center. Benefits Benefits of implementing these recommendations include: 1. Significant avoided capital cost for every community operating a PSAP today. 2. Significant recurring operating cost savings realized Countywide by leveraging and aggregating dispatch center staff to serve the entire user community across the county. 3. Enhanced commu nications interoperability. 4. Improved command, control, and deployment coordination of public safety personnel equipment and staff during both routine and cri sis situations.
