From the Chief’s Corner: Knowledge and Competence Solves Problems...
By Chief Alan Perdue (ret.), SBC Executive Director
Non-compliance with all Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules regulating the utilization of signal boosters can severely compromise the effectiveness of the public safety communication system. Indeed, the importance of adhering to FCC regulations, specifically Rule 47 CFR Part 90.219, which mandates obtaining express written consent from the frequency license holder before operating a public safety signal booster, cannot be overstated.
Alas, failure to comply with current regulations is all too common. How do we rectify this?

Competency
From ERCES Trainer Ltd.
I was recently asked to take part in a Podcast with an ERCES related topic of my choosing. I decided to make Competency for ERCES installers the focus of the conversation. Why? It’s simple. For most all other building trades a lack of competency only impacts the occupants of the building where shoddy work was done.
