� 2. Step Two- Design Templates �Determine how many templates your agency will need? �CPD/Sheriff –work together to design a standard? �CFD/Co Fire – work together to design a standard? (example where Mutual Aid Channels are located more uniformed) P-25 Project Bartholomew County

�Determining Templates? who will design *Option #1 - pay vendor to design the Templates with the guarantee they will work correctly. *Option #2 – Have the trained officers develop Templatesvery time consuming and no guarantee they will work- this may take an extended amount of time and requires a lot of patience. IF this does not work, then it is possible a vendor will have to build them anyway. P-25 Bartholomew County
