The use of this Record of Change helps manage TICP modifications throughout the life of this document. All attempts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the information within this TICP as of the initial distribution date. Any subsequent adjustments should be logged and coordinated with user agencies within Region F. September 2010 iii TICP – Region F Executive Overview This document establishes a Tactical Interoperable Communications Plan (TICP) for Region F, inclusive of agencies/departments represented through the Regional Homeland Security Oversight Committee (RHSOC) under the Governor’s Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC). The TICP is intended to document the interoperable communications resources available within Region F, who controls each resource, and what rules of use or operational procedures exist for activation and deactivation of each resource. Importantly, point-of-contact information and resource activation guidelines contained in this TICP are designed to assist and support resource allocation processes (e.g., request, deploy, track, etc.) currently in place in the region and do not supersede or otherwise alter existing procedures for executing mutual aid assistance. The TICP was developed through a collaborative effort among numerous stakeholders, including: Missouri Department of Public Safety’s Interoperability Program; Region F RHSOC, Region F Interoperability Committee; Mid-Missouri Regional Planning Commission; and numerous public safety and non-governmental agencies of the region that contributed time and information to create this plan. CLOSED RECORD This document is a closed record pursuant to Section 610.021 (18) RSMo. Public disclosure of this information would impair the State of Missouri's ability to protect the safety of its citizens. The public interest in nondisclosure outweighs the public interest in disclosure of the record. The information contained in this TICP is designated as For Official Use Only and should be handled as sensitive information not to be disclosed. This document should be safeguarded, handled, transmitted, and stored in accordance with appropriate security directives. Reproduction of this document, in whole or in part, without prior approval from the State of Missouri or appropriate regional Region F Interoperability Committee is prohibited.
