Fairfax County Hosts the 2010 Communications Vehicle Rally

Fairfax County Department of Information Technology Radio Services Center is proud to host our 6th annual Communications Vehicle rally on June 18h, 2010.  You are invited to participate in this communications interoperability exercise where we bring together communications and command units from federal, state and local public safety agencies to participate in interoperability exercises.  Please visit www.Fairfaxcounty.gov/rally to register.  We are using the web based registration again this year to track both vehicle registration and personnel registration for the rally.  We want to ensure that we provide enough room for each of the vehicles, and enough food for the participants.  This year's rally will be held at the Fairfax County Police Department's driver training facility in Chantilly , VA.

When you visit the website, you will see a slideshow displaying a sampling of the vehicles that participated in last year’s event.  On the day of the rally, we will replace the slideshow with streaming video of the actual event as it unfolds.  For personnel who can not physically make it to Fairfax County , VA for the rally, you can still participate! 

In conjunction with the rally, we will host training sessions covering a wide range of topics including how to operate & configure different interoperability devices, using the National Incident Management System (NIMS), programming radios, understanding the MIRS system, etc.  We are presently working on the training syllabus and when it is complete, we will post it on the website.  Training will be conducted Monday, June 14th  thru Wednesday, June 16th.  Please revisit the website in May to register for training.

Looking forward to seeing you at the rally.

Jim
