The Los Angeles Regional Tactical Communications System (LARTCS) Committee is a consortium of local, state, and federal public safety entities with the common goal of establishing interoperable public safety communications. There is no single ownership of the LARTCS, it is a partnership made possible through the firm commitment and true cooperation of all the public safety agencies participating in the LARTCS. The LARTCS provides direct communication interoperability between Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, Federal, State and Military agencies at the scene of a major, multi-agency incident. These incidents may be short term (felony pursuits through multiple jurisdictions, fires, hazmat, etc) or long term (large scale fire or floods, civil disturbances, terrorist incidents, etc). Safety of the on-scene personnel involved in these incidents will be enhanced through real-time, unit to unit communication. The LARTCS system cross-connects different radio channels over various radio frequency bands, throughout Los Angeles and surrounding counties. It is comprised of differing types of hardware at multiple communication sites. The LARTCS is an analog system with frequencies on 800 Mhz, UHF, VHF, Low VHF as well as Military Low VHF. The LARTCS is available to any public safety agency within Los Angeles County or the surrounding counties. There is NO CHARGE to be a member, or to use the LARTCS infrastructure, with the only requirements being a signed Memorandum of Understanding by the participating agency, and compliance with LARTCS operation protocols.
