The document discusses various levels of radio interoperability between public safety agencies and provides examples. It describes 6 levels from simple methods like swapping radios to more advanced systems that use standards-based shared networks. It also discusses current challenges to interoperability and efforts to improve coordination through funding programs and initiatives.
