Ohio Governor, First Responders Demonstrate New Statewide Communications System
Ohio Governor Bob Taft yesterday joined Ohio Department of Public Safety Director Kenneth Morckel, Ohio Adjutant General Gregory Wayt, Ohio Office of Information Technology (OIT) Director Mary Carroll and first responders from around the state to demonstrate the capabilities of the Multi-Agency Radio Communications System (MARCS). MARCS is the nation’s first statewide voice and data communication system for first responders, according to a release from the state.
"This state-of-the-art communications network gives us an unprecedented ability to share information and create a more efficient system to respond to emergency situations," Taft said. "Communication is a key component to any response strategy and today Ohio’s first responders have a tool that will enhance their abilities to serve and protect our citizens."
