Establish National Law Enforcement Public Safety Network

2. Establish a National Law Enforcement/Public Safety Wireless Network
for use by federal, state, and local governments.

The Government Information Technology Services Working Group should
issue a memorandum by July 1994 directing the Federal Law Enforcement
Wireless Users Group to coordinate establishment of an intergovernmental
wireless network.

The users group should work with the Office of Management and Budget,
the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the
Communications Interoperability Working Group, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, and state and local entities to:

---further define costs and benefits, and develop budget strategies; and

---develop an implementation plan for the National Law
Enforcement/Public Safety Network to cover the next 10 years.

Responsibilities must be clearly defined, since the issue of which
agency or activity funds and controls the network will be a point of
contention. Establishment and use of the network must be handled at the
highest level to avoid turf conflicts and to focus on goals, roles,
methods, and relationships.
