Primary Radio Systems in Pierce County

In November 2011, voters in Pierce County approved Proposition 1, a 0.1 percent sales tax increase to fund the consolidation and collocation of 911 centers in the county, including the construction of a new public safety communications center (PSCC), known as South Sound 911. Proposition 1 also funded the construction of the county's regional radio network, the Combined Communications Network - Single Countywide Communications System Network (CCN:SCWCS).
