March DEDIR System Update

Ms. Zerwin said that ETSB Vice Chair Franz had requested updates regarding the

timeline of radio deployment. She explained that ETSB had previously held "podcasts"

which reviewed information for any agencies who chose to listen in on the Zoom invite.

Ms. Zerwin said details regarding an upcoming podcast which was being held tomorrow

afternoon had been sent to the agencies. She said the podcast would address the

following information, which had also been posted as part of the meeting packet:

OHSEM volunteers who will be updating police agencies' multi-unit chargers and the

corresponding monday.com board which will be updated to supply the schedule, the fire

agencies' multi-unit charges which were being updated in-house before distribution, the

status of the single unit chargers which were being tested with the update, the

approximately 274 police radios which had not yet been updated with the latest firmware

push, the list of which was included, and if agencies are having trouble with the update

they can submit a helpdesk ticket or the OHSEM volunteers would be available to assist

when on premises.

Ms. Zerwin then provided a summary of the timeline of events from January 23 through

February 26. During this review, Member Burmeister noted that training for the ACDC

PSAP on the new AXS consoles had gone well. He said that subject matter experts had

been part of the training and that ACDC went through their screen layouts which would

be finalized this week. Member Benjamin said he had an emergency and was unable to

attend but had heard generally positive comments. Mr. Maplethorpe also commented that

it went well. While on the console topic, Ms. Zerwin skipped to Agenda Item 7.E. AXS

Console Update and said there were questions relating to the Instant Recall Recorder

(IRR) which may involve internal policies and will be brought back for discussion, if

needed.

Ms. Zerwin then continued with the timeline summary, as posted, beginning again on

February 19. Vice Chair Clark noted he had received questions regarding columns F and

G of the fleetmap and the maximum number of characters allowed for the radio and

console aliases be presented in prominent manner. Ms. Zerwin said that if the maximum

character count is exceeded, then the cell would turn red, and that staff would confirm

this was working as designed. The summary continued through February 26, as posted,

and included the status of testing the Remote Speaker Microphone with the channel select

knob so the standard RSMs could be returned and the exchange completed, and the

firmware updates to the police multi-unit chargers which would assist in re-conditioning

batteries for a longer life while full battery replacement for police radios was being

explored by staff for FY25 as opposed to FY26. Vice Chair Clark inquired into whether

there was a deadline for the fire agencies to complete their codeplug sign-offs. Ms.

Zerwin said that as the sign-offs are submitted, the Fire Focus Group can review, and the

System Manager can begin programming the template. A short discussion ensued on the

items left to be determined in terms of the sign-offs, which Ms. Zerwin noted have had

some adjustments made including the template choices and general clarifying language,

template programming, encryption, the retention of data as related to the console project

which would be discussed internally, and the benefits (or lack thereof) of tying an email

to individual personnel to log into the radios.
