Former Homeland Security Chief Slams Interoperability Progress
February 17, 2007 /
Former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge Wednesday called for the creation of a nationwide public-safety communications network.
Ridge, U.S. homeland security director from 2001 to 2005, said radio spectrum currently earmarked for sale to commercial communications companies should be set aside for police, fire and emergency responders. He also sharply criticized the lack of progress on interoperable emergency communications since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
