Regional planning representative urges Gonzales County to complete statewide interoperability survey
Summary
A representative for the regional planning commission and Comtech Services asked county officials to complete the 2025 Texas interoperability survey to inform funding, equipment and training decisions for emergency communications.
A representative on behalf of the regional planning commission urged Gonzales County officials to take part in the 2025 statewide interoperability survey to document radio, training and policy gaps that affect multi-agency emergency response.
The presenter, speaking for Comtech Services and the regional planning commission, told commissioners that first responders across counties often operate on different radio systems and that those gaps can delay responses in emergencies. The presenter said the state-level data collected from the survey will guide funding priorities, infrastructure upgrades and training initiatives and can influence grant funding that could benefit the county.
The presenter asked county officials, law enforcement and emergency managers to complete the brief survey and to supply operational input that can be used in regional planning and grant applications. The court took no formal vote on the request; staff and commissioners were encouraged to participate.
Quote: "Effective communications is the backbone of public safety," the presenter said, urging county officials to "complete the survey; it only takes a couple of minutes."
