Interagency Channels

A new tool is now available in COTAK allowing multiple agencies to share their user’s locations and interoperate! This tool, called interagency channels, allows you as an agency administrator to invite other agencies to join your users on a common channel for interoperability. This option is in addition to traditional mutual aid channels that are permanently created by the COTAK program team for use by agencies within a county or region.

Interagency channels in COTAK works similarly to the patching of voice radio channels, but differs in that COTAK creates a new interagency channel for the patch using the membership of multiple ‘normal’ channels. To learn more about this exciting new feature watch our training video here. If you would like assistance setting up interagency channels contact our support team at cotak.gov/support.
