What does effective radio interoperability allow agencies to do?

Effective radio interoperability is crucial for agencies, particularly in emergency situations. It allows different organizations, such as police, fire, and medical services, to communicate seamlessly over various radio systems. This interoperability ensures that agencies can coordinate their actions, share vital information, and respond effectively to incidents, thus improving overall situational awareness and operational efficiency during emergencies.

While compiling radio usage statistics, sharing technology resources, or conducting joint training are important aspects of communication and collaboration, they do not directly address the immediate need for cohesive communication during critical situations that effective radio interoperability enables.
