It is the collective view within the Los Angeles region

that interoperable public safety communications can best and most cost effectively be attained by developing a shared voice and data radio system. By pooling frequencies and utilizing existing infrastructure where practical from the City of Los Angeles, the County of Los Angeles, ICIS, Long Beach, and others, LA-RICS will:
  • Provide unified voice and data communications platforms for all first responders in the region

  • Eliminate the duplication of costs and effort involved in maintaining separate systems

  • Provide instantaneous communications among agencies in the event of a man-made or natural disaster

  • Support the day-to-day communications needs within individual public safety agencies

LA-RICS will also support interoperability

with state and federal agencies such as the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Further, the system will incorporate the recommended best practices of the US Department of Homeland Security and achieve the optimal level of interoperability as defined in the DHS SAFECOM Interoperability Continuum.
