Kentucky State Police Deploy Federal Signal SmartMSG Critical Communications System

UNIVERSITY PARK, Ill., July 17 PRNewswire — Federal Signal Corporation's Safety and Security Systems Group, a leader in advancing security and well-being, announced today that the Kentucky State Police have deployed Federal Signal's SmartMSG critical communications system to enhance first responder interoperability.

The Federal Signal SmartMSG system will help the Kentucky State Police enhance public safety and security in Kentucky by rapidly alerting the Special Response Team, HazMat Team, Canine Units and Hazardous Device Technicians through voice alerts or text messages to cell phones. The robust Federal Signal SmartMSG system offers law enforcement officers simple interoperability that can help save lives.

The Federal Signal SmartMSG critical communications system provides a comprehensive interoperability solution for first responders. Disparate warning systems, including different brands and models and different frequencies, can be bridged by simply docking radios into the mobile command and control unit or stationary unit. With the SmartMSG system, communications equipment is linked to enable first responders to seamlessly collaborate on-scene during mission-critical events. Federal Signal's hosted dialing solution provides the Kentucky State Police with a redundant phone dialing infrastructure.

"As a leader in interoperable first responder communications, Federal Signal is delighted to help the Kentucky State Police advance mission-critical communications in the State of Kentucky," said Michael K. Wons, vice president and general manager of Federal Signal's Public Safety Systems Division. "Our comprehensive law enforcement systems include automatic license plate recognition, interoperable communications, and lightbar and mobile video capabilities to help police protect people, property and the environment every day."

The Codespear-enabled Federal Signal SmartMSG system is part of the Federal Signal Public Safety Systems industry platform.
