Restructured SCIP
Goals, Objectives & Key Strategies
consistent with DHS OEC recommendations
and aligned with the Interoperability Continuum
SCIP priorities are unchanged:
1. Operability
2. Interoperability
3. Build-out of Regional Systems

Restructured SCIP Goals, Objectives, and Key Strategies
National Emergency Communications Plan
(NECP)
“Several States (e.g. … Texas) are
developing statewide ‘systems of systems’
that leverage emerging technologies to
establish interoperability among different
levels of government and that span frequency
bands” (page 27).

Restructured SCIP Goals, Objectives, and Key Strategies
National Emergency Communications Plan
(NECP)
“(The) identified capabilities (of the
SAFECOM continuum) serve as the
foundation for the NECP priority objectives,
initiatives, and recommended national
milestones” (pages 8-9).

National Emergency Communications Plan
(NECP)
“State, local, and tribal governments should
strive to align with the NECP and implement
key initiatives” (page 42).

Restructured SCIP Goals, Objectives, and Key Strategies
New Goal 1: Governance - Achieve statewide interoperability by
institutionalizing collaborative approaches across the state based
upon common priorities and consensus at the regional level.
• Objective: Ensure a coordinated governance structure, with representation
from all regions, all disciplines, state, federal, and non-governmental
agencies to plan and implement statewide communications interoperability
for all stakeholders.
• Key Strategy: Education & Planning
Original Goal 1: Establish statewide voice and data
interoperability as a high priority for all stakeholders.
Objective: Educate key local, tribal, state and federal policy makers regarding
the need for voice and data interoperable communications. Emphasize the
need to raise the general public’s awareness level of the critical and urgent
need for communications interoperability. This will drive the creation of
appropriate legislation to support the likely sources of funding.

Restructured SCIP Goals, Objectives, and Key Strategies
New Goal 2: Standard Operating Procedures - Enhance use of
interoperable communications systems with integrated, NIMS
compliant, statewide Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Objective: Improve coordination of first responder activities with integrated
Standard Operating Procedures which are included in training programs
and exercised routinely.
• Key Strategy: Facilitate integrated SOPs.
Original Goal 2: Achieve voice and data interoperability by
institutionalizing collaborative approaches across the state based
upon common priorities and consensus at the regional level.
Objective: Achieve incremental progress on a regionalized basis through a
Governance structure which encourages transparency, accountability, and
collaboration through Education, Leadership, Legislation and outcome-based
strategic planning.

Restructured SCIP Goals, Objectives, and Key Strategies
New Goal 3: Technology - Build a system-of-systems (SoS)
network consisting of regional standards-based (P25) shared
systems for voice operations, providing interoperable
communications statewide
• Objective: Ensure operability while leveraging investments in existing
communications infrastructure and systems when designing and
implementing regional interoperability.
• Key Strategy: Planning & Project Management
Original Goal 3: Achieve close to 100% state-wide coverage for
both voice and data communications interoperable networks of
all public safety agencies.
Objective: Over the long term, build a statewide interoperable communications
system by maximizing the use of existing networks, shared systems and
Standards-based communications purchases.

Restructured SCIP Goals, Objectives, and Key Strategies
New Goal 4: Training & Exercises - Ensure integrated local and
regional training and exercise opportunities are available to all
emergency responders.
• Objective: Ensure first responders at all levels are trained on and routinely
exercise communications equipment, procedures and coordination.
• Key Strategy: Multiple Opportunities
Original Goal 4: Facilitate integrated Standard Operating
Procedures and Training Programs to enhance effective use of
voice and data interoperable communications systems.
Objective: (1) Design, implement and track an integrated, state, local, tribal,
federal and non-governmental agency, training program with integrated SOP’s. (2)
Ensure critical infrastructure and first responders have completed an Integrated
Training Program and have access to current integrated Standard Operating
Procedures.

Restructured SCIP Goals, Objectives, and Key Strategies
New Goal 5: Usage - Accelerate use of Regional P25 Voice
Shared Communications Systems for daily operations as well as
all hazards emergency communications.
• Objective: Expand and/or transition voice communications systems to P-25
Regional Shared (fixed and mobile) Systems.
• Key Strategies: CASM Development, Planning & Project Management
Original Goal 5: Develop a funding plan that will generate the
funding resources necessary to acquire and sustain statewide
voice and data communications interoperability.
Objective: Identify all funding sources available for voice and data interoperable
communications and develop a timeline with associated costs to migrate to a
technology environment that provides state, local, regional, and tribal entities
with the level of interoperability that is defined in the Statewide Communications
Interoperability Plan.

New Goal 6: Funding – Secure consistent funding for ongoing
development, capital replacement, and operations and
maintenance costs.
• Objective: Develop a funding plan that will generate the funding resources
necessary to acquire and sustain statewide voice and data communications
interoperability.
• Key Strategies: Planning, Support & Legislative Action
Original Goal 6: None, but funding was addressed in the SCIP’s
original Goal 5. The NECP objectives include life-cycle planning
to forecast long term funding requirements.
