NOTE: The first appearance of terms in bold in the body of this document (except titles) are defined terms – please refer to the Definitions section.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the information in this document, please contact Policy Services at [email protected]. The Policy Services website is the official source of current approved policies, procedures, directives, standards, protocols, and guidelines.

OBJECTIVES

To identify the process for the utilization of Side, Working and Significant Event Alberta First Responder Radio Communications System (AFRRCS) Talkgroups (talkgroups).

To identify the process for the utilization of radio Interoperability with a public safety agencies.

PRINCIPLES

Talkgroups are utilized to enhance the flow of communications for specific situations while decreasing the volume of radio traffic on regular assigned talkgroups.

Once a talkgroup has been activated, all information shared from assigned resources to the EMS Dispatch, Communications and Deployment Centre shall be done on the assigned

talkgroup and not by telephone. This will allow all assigned resources to receive the information in a timely manner.

The EMS Dispatch, Communications and Deployment Centre does not actively monitor mutual aid or common event talkgroups.

Mutual aid and common event talkgroups are not encrypted.

APPLICABILITY

Compliance with this document is required by all Alberta Health Services employees, members of the medical and midwifery staffs, students, volunteers, and other persons acting on behalf of Alberta Health Services (including contracted service providers as necessary).

EMS TALKGROUP MANAGEMENT December 19, 2019 SWE-EMS-10


ELEMENTS

1. Side Talkgroup

1.1 A side talkgroup may be requested at any time by an EMS Crew or an Operations Supervisor. The side talkgroup shall be utilized to relay information of a sensitive nature or updates that require a lengthy explanation. Information of a sensitive nature includes but is not limited to patient demographics or patient specific information.

1.2 A request for a side talkgroup shall be actioned using the following process:

a) The Emergency Communications Officer (ECO) responsible shall acknowledge the request and assign an encrypted tactical (TAC) talkgroup that shall be verbally relayed to the requestor and entered into the remarks of the event.

b) The requesting EMS crew shall switch to the assigned TAC talkgroup and communicate with the ECO there.

c) The EMS crew shall advise the ECO when they are leaving the side talkgroup after their communications have been completed.

2. Working Talkgroup

2.1 A working talkgroup shall be approved or requested through an Operations Supervisor, EMS Deployment Manager (DM) or designate however, an EMS crew may initiate this request based on the scale of the event. A working talkgroup is to be used for event monitoring, collaboration and updates.

2.2 A request for a working talkgroup shall be referred to the on-duty DM or designate and appropriate zone Operations Supervisor(s) without delay. Working talkgroups shall be monitored by the geographically responsible dispatch centre.

2.3 A request for a “working talkgroup” shall be managed by the ECO using the following process:

a) An EMS crew or operations supervisor requests a working talkgroup.

b) The ECO responsible shall acknowledge the request and assign an encrypted “DISP” or “TAC” talkgroup.

c) The responding EMS crew(s) shall switch to the assigned talkgroup and confirm with the ECO that they are on the assigned talkgroup utilizing their call sign.

d) The EMS crew(s) shall advise the ECO when they are leaving the working talkgroup.

PROCEDURE




3. SIGNIFICANT EVENT TALKGROUP

3.1 A request for a significant event talkgroup shall be referred to the DM or designate or appropriate zone operational supervisor(s) without delay and are designed to support large scale provincial operations that require sustained support (GV-DCD-010 Notification of Management of Significant Events). Significant event talkgroups shall be approved by an Operations Supervisor and/or DM.

3.2 A significant event talkgroup shall be initiated for events that will require the activation of:

a) EMS Provincial Communications Centre (EMS PCC) and/or,

b) AHS Zone Emergency Operations Centre and/or,

c) Tri Services Unified Command post and/or,

d) AHS EMS Emergency Management Plan and/or,

e) Unplanned Event (i.e. Mass Casualty Incident, Active Shooter, Plane Crash): For an unplanned significant event that requires a significant event talkgroup and is expected to last greater than two hours and/or,

f) Planned Event (i.e. Stampede Parade): For a planned significant event that requires a significant event talkgroup.

4. Radio Inter-Operability With A Public Saftey Agency

4.1 AFRRCS radio interoperability for shared events is to ensure voice radio communication between EMS and public safety agencies when responding to emergency medical events. EMS interoperability talkgroups are not encrypted and are not actively monitored by AHS EMS dispatch or satellite dispatch centres. EMS Dispatch, acting as the EMS AFRRCS Agency Administrator will facilitate the sharing of EMS Mutual Aid talkgroups with requesting AFRRCS equipped MFR Agencies.

4.2 EMS Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) shall assign a mutual aid talkgroup for each event into the CAD remarks of the event. For example, Mutual Aid: FMCM Mutual Aid 11 will appear into the remarks.

a) Local conditions in Edmonton exist where the working channel is provided in the remarks of the event for MFR related responses. The channel is identified as a working channel **CHANNEL W1 ASSIGNED-multiple events in the EDMO FIRE Zone of the AFRRCS radio.

4.3 In all instances of radio interoperability with a Public Safety Agency, the EMS crew will only assign one AFRRCS portable radio to the event communication channel. The mutual aid channel shall be monitored, as much as possible by the EMS crew, during the response and until the EMS crew clears the scene of the

PROCEDURE




event, or the response is cancelled by AHS EMS Dispatch or Satellite Dispatch Center (SDC).

4.4 The second AFRRCS portable radio will remain on the EMS crew’s active channel with the AHS EMS Dispatch or SDC.

4.5 Due to operational requirements or safety concerns, EMS crews may have to change between various channels or a Common Event Talkgroup (CET) during some events.

4.6 The EMS crew will advise the MFR agency when they are leaving the Mutual Aid channel.

4.7 MFR agencies that require a manual telephone call for notification shall be notified of the mutual aid channel at the time of call of the request for a MFR co-response.

4.8 EMS and law enforcement shall use the AFRRCS assigned Regional Combined Event talkgroup (CET) for interoperability. EMS CAD will identify the CET for interoperability and it will be the responsibility of the ECO to relay the assigned Regional CET as required to the dispatch center.

4.9 User agencies that need to communicate with other user agencies not frequently contacted during special events or emergencies can use common event talkgroups (CET). CETs are unrestricted and open to all AFRRCS agencies. Requests from first responder agencies to activate a CET should not be denied. The ECO verifies when the talkgroup is clear for urban CETs.

4.10 The EMS crew will advise the ECO that they are leaving the channel.

5. Landing Zone Operator

5.1 EMS crew or EMS Operations Supervisor may be required to coordinate landing zone operations as the Landing Zone Officer. The Landing Zone Officer will communicate on CET-PROV-SIMP-1.
