Section 60FF-4.007 - Service and Maintenance Priorities(1) If traffic loading at a site causes queuing of calls such that the busy hour average waiting time per call exceeds 0.5 seconds, the Department, in consultation with the Contractor and system users, is authorized to take measures to restrict system use. Such measures shall include: disabling of individual calling and telephone interconnect calling; patching of talk groups; disabling of talk groups; disallowing the addition of radios to the system; limiting usage to essential traffic only; or partitioning of channels. These measures will be employed when public safety emergencies result in heavier than normal radio traffic in an area and priorities must be invoked to ensure that essential radio communications can be maintained.(2) Local First Responders will be granted call priorities equivalent to those granted to State Law Enforcement Users. All other SLERS Partners shall have lower call priorities.(3) In no case shall any SLERS Partner be granted a higher priority for traffic or provided a faster response for maintenance than required for JTF Agency Users of the Statewide Law Enforcement Radio System.Fla.
