Initiative Action Teams (IAT)

Initiative Action Teams (IAT's) are established on an as-needed basis to assist in the implementation of the initiatives in the Statewide Plan. The IATs operate under a limited time charter and given a general timeline in which they will undertake specific tasks to improve public safety interoperable communications across the Commonwealth by the State Interoperability Executive Committees (SIEC).

The IATs are directed primarily by the Commonwealth Interoperability Coordinator's Office (CICO) working in conjunction with the State Interoperability Executive Committees (SIEC) and Advisory Group.  Local public safety practitioners and others necessary to accomplish the project tasks are recruited as needed to ensure maximum stakeholder involvement.

The IAT presents results and recommendations to the State Interoperability Executive Committees (SIEC) for consideration. Once approved, the State Interoperability Executive Committees (SIEC) will provide the recommendations to the Commonwealth Interoperability Coordinator's Office (CICO) for acceptance.
