47050.7 Mutual Aid Frequency Use Agreement:

  • A mutual aid frequency use agreement is required for each instance of shared frequency use. The agreement must include the type of frequency that the public safety agency is authorizing CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to use, and must be without cost to the Department. These types of agreements are not considered Memorandum of Understanding (MOUMemorandum Of Understanding) and are not subject to CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s MOUMemorandum Of Understanding procedures. Refer to the Radio Communications Policy and Procedures Handbook.

  • CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation-owned radio equipment shall be maintained and repaired by OCIO-PSCD staff or locally approved radio technicians; frequency use agreements may not contain provisions that allow non-OCIO-PSCD approved maintenance or repair CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation-owned telecommunications equipment. Agreements containing maintenance and/or repair provisions will not be approved.
