Interoperability Montana (IM) Project
Eastern Tier Interoperability Consortium (ETIC)
The Eastern Tier Interoperability Consortium's (ETIC) goal is to develop a multi-agency interoperable communications system between law enforcement, fire services, and Emergency Medical Services that will improve coverage and dependability by upgrading existing radio equipment to Project 25 standards and coordinating Federal and State stakeholders.
The ETIC, in eastern Montana, includes Carter, Custer, Dawson, Fallon, Garfield, McCone, Powder River, Prairie, Richland and Wibaux Counties. The ETIC has approximately 40,448 residents and covers roughly 26,434 square miles. The ETIC borders North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming and is working to improve interoperable communications with these neighboring systems.
