Both Region 6 RPC meetings are open to the public. All public safety providers in Region 6 may utilize these frequencies. It is essential that public safety agencies in all areas of government, including state, municipality, county, and Native American Tribal, be represented in order to ensure that each agency’s future spectrum needs are considered in the allotment process. Administrators who are not oriented in the communications field should delegate someone with this knowledge to attend, participate, and represent their agency’s needs.

All interested parties wishing to participate in planning for the use of public safety spectrum in the 700 MHz and 800 MHz bands within Region 6 should plan to attend. For further information, please contact John Lemmon:
