Both Region 24 Public Safety RPCs’ meetings are open to the public.  All eligible public safety 
providers in Region 24 may utilize these frequencies.  It is essential that eligible 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 allocation 
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 the planning for the use of public safety spectrum 
in the 700 MHz and 800 MHz bands within Region 24 should plan to attend.  For further information,
