FROM THE REPORT:
“Because this was a multiagency event, interoperability was predictably the first major technological problem to emerge.
Most of the agencies involved in the investigation and eventual apprehension of Dorner did not share common radio frequencies.
Several did not even have the capacity to be patched to a tactical channel in the jurisdiction where they were working.
This lack of real-time communication capacity during high-risk operations put officers and citizens at extreme risk and diminished opportunities to apprehend [Dorner].
In addition to the safety risks, even rudimentary coordination was hampered by the inability to broadcast information to the field simultaneously and consistently.”
The report went on to describe specific situations in which officers from one jurisdiction operated inside another jurisdiction’s territory without even basic means of communication.
In one instance, officers intended to use a cellphone to call the local agency, but the cellphone became inoperable. Later, these officers had to borrow a cellphone to call 9-1-1 when shots were fired at them.
According to the report, “The Police Foundation team identified success in interoperable communication systems in Orange County and failures in Riverside County.
While local jurisdictions are attempting to resolve the issues, it is inexcusable that law enforcement agencies in a county or region cannot immediately communicate with each other.”
