Welcome
Welcome to the Kentucky Wireless Interoperability Executive Committee's website hosted by the Commonwealth Office of Technology.
The Commonwealth of Kentucky recognizes the importance of voice and data communications interoperability for public safety agencies at all levels of government. Several events in recent history require us to work cooperatively to improve public safety communications. First-responders need to be able to communicate with each other so that “no life is lost because public safety personnel cannot communicate with one another.”
This website is an important step in the Commonwealth's journey to raise awareness of public safety and government officials about wireless interoperability issues. In this endeavor, it is imperative for the Commonwealth to develop a shared vision of a seamless, coordinated and integrated public safety communications network. Your willingness, participation, and commitment to work across organizations and to discuss interoperability challenges among local, state, and federal public safety organizations is critical to the Commonwealth's success.
