Statewide Interoperability Executive Council (SIEC)
Formerly Montana Public Safety Communications Council, MPSCC
The Statewide Interoperability Executive Council (SIEC) provides policy-level direction in matters related to planning, designing and implementing guidelines, best practices, and standard approaches to solve Montana's public safety communications interoperability problems and to leverage any opportunity in support of a statewide system, including seeking federal or other funding, for statewide interoperability.
Governor Martz continued the Montana Public Safety Communications Council as the Statewide Interoperability Executive Council by Executive Order on June 14, 2004 with appointment of both new and continuing members. Per the Executive Order, the SIEC has defined interoperability and technical requirements effective August 5, 2005. Governor Martz also endorsed by Executive Order APCO Project P25 as a standard for Montana.
Governor Schweitzer continued the Statewide Interoperability Executive Council by Executive Order on September 7, 2006 with appointment of 10 voting and 9 ex officio members.
The statewide project overview provides information on the SIEC's vision of a standards-based, interoperable radio system.
