SAFECOM Members,

On behalf of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), we are pleased to announce that the revised Funding and Sustaining Land Mobile Radio (LMR):  Materials for Decision-Makers document suite has been published on the SAFECOM Funding Resources webpage under "Sustaining Public Safety Communications Systems."  The document suite contains the revised LMR Trio, Funding and Sustaining LMR Systems brochure, and Promoting the Importance of Funding and Sustaining LMR Action Memorandum.  These materials provide information and guidance on LMR systems, including the importance of sustaining funding, relevant standards and resources, and considerations associated with FirstNet and system upgrades.  First published in 2016, CISA worked with SAFECOM and National Council of Statewide Interoperability (NCSWIC) members to update content and align the suite to new branding guidelines.  Specifically, the documents have been revised to reflect advancements made in FirstNet technology, Project 25 standards, and guidance found within the Fiscal Year 2021 SAFECOM Guidance on Emergency Communications Grants.

The development of these materials would not have been possible without the input, ideas, and expertise of our members.  Thank you for your contributions to ensure LMR guidance is consistent across the public safety community.  For questions or additional information on the Funding and Sustaining LMR:  Materials for Decision-Makers document suite, please email SAFECOMGovernance@cisa.dhs.gov.

Respectfully,

Eric
