Publication covers the technology, issues, planning and management of wireless systems.

The National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center Rocky Mountain (NLECTC-RM) has published "Understanding Wireless Communications in Public Safety," and it is now available free of charge. The publication targets middle and upper managers that are responsible for funding and/or managing communications at their agencies, but have little or no technical background in wireless technology.

The guidebook discusses how to plan and manage a communications project, wireless communications technology and issues, and the options available in wireless communications technology. "We developed this guidebook to help the public safety community better understand the issues and options that surround wireless communications," says Gene McGahey, Deputy Program Manager at NLECTC-RM.

To order a copy of the guidebook, please contact the national office of NLECTC at (800) 248-2742. The publication is also available for download at www.nlectc.org. For more information on communications technology for public safety, please contact Gene McGahey at (800)416-8086.
