BAYRICS

The BayRICS Authority is a 12-member Joint Powers Authority (JPA), representing the San Francisco Bay Area. BayRICS is responsible for planning, policy and oversight of regional public safety communications projects... The Bay Area Regional Interoperable Communications System Joint Powers Authority (BayRICS) was established in August 2011 to oversee advanced public safety communications projects, such as FirstNet. Members of BayRICS include six Bay Area Counties, plus the City and County of San Francisco, City of Oakland, and City of San Jose... The decision to adopt FirstNet requires a complex review and evaluation of all the options. It is essential that public safety agencies pay attention to this process and carefully review both FirstNet and competing services. BayRICS has developed a list of Initial Questions for agencies to help guide them through the evaluation process.
