In July 2008, the Statewide Interoperability Executive Committee was established by the Governor (Executive Order 01.01.2008.07).
To ensure that emergency and public safety agencies statewide have compatible communications systems, the Committee develops standards and policies which it approves and updates in the Maryland Statewide Communications Interoperability Plan. Further, it promotes cooperation among federal, State and local public safety agencies; sets funding priorities for statewide interoperability projects; and advises on the development of a statewide interoperable radio and data communications system. The Committee works with the Program Management Office of the Department of State Police in creating and implementing the Statewide interoperable communications system.
The Committee has up to thirty-four members. Of these, eleven serve ex officio. The Committee may set up work groups and subcommittees as needed to carry out its work.
