This is the statewide Mutual Aid System maintained by the Kentucky State Police for use, ultimately, by all 
first responder agencies in the Commonwealth. It is a four pronged system using mostly existing frequencies 
in the three bands available currently: 150MHz, 450MHz and 800MHz with bridging between the 150 MHz and 450MHz 
systems as needed by the various KSP Posts across the Commonwealth.

(The National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) recently [2006-11-01] selected Kentucky's 
Mutual Aid and Interoperability (MAI) initiative as a winner in its 2006 Recognition Awards for Outstanding Achievement 
in the Field of Information Technology in State Government. The winning initiatives were chosen from 139 submissions 
by 33 states. For full release see: http://www.techlines.ky.gov/2006/nov/mutual_aid.htm )
Go here, KWEIC Mutual Aid, for more detailed information about KMAI....

150 MHz Band
The KLEEN channel (155.47500) is dedicated to law enforcement emergency use.  It is a national channel set aside by the FCC and each 
state is free to set their own rules and assign it their own name.  It is restricted to law enforcement, but the Commonwealth 
may petition the FCC to grant authorizations for other public safety usage.  The Commonwealth has 22 KLEEN Base Stations across 
Kentucky.

The Inter City channel (155.37000) is dedicated to law enforcement communication between police departments.  For the most part, it is no 
longer used.  However, many agencies in Kentucky still have this channel licensed.  There are numerous Inter City Base Stations 
operating at the local level.  At the state level, there are 16 Inter City Base Stations across Kentucky with each connected to 
a Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post.

450 MHz Band
The KSP State channel (453.30000) is dedicated to public safety emergency use.  It is licensed, operated, and controlled by the KSP.  It 
consists of 96 Base Stations across Kentucky.  It is the only known dedicated statewide infrastructure in place for communications 
interoperability.  45 public safety agencies have signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to use this Mutual Aid channel as an 
emergency communications link into the KSP.   The coverage is statewide and excellent with a 95% coverage footprint.

800 MHz Band
The FCC adopted the National Public Safety Plan which created the National Public Safety Planning Advisory Committee (NPSPAC) to 
assign mutual aid channels to facilitate communications interoperability among local, state, and federal public safety agencies.  
It consists of one calling channel and four tactical channels.  The following information added 10/28/2006 based upon other information 
(replacing outdated info from the original web page construction):  There are twenty operating 800MHz base stations in the Commonwealth. 
These stations are located along the I-75 and I-65 corridors as well as other locations to allow coverage of the Ohio Valley and other 
selected areas with operating 800MHz Public Service Systems.
