Similar to how mutual aid channels are deployed on voice radios for public safety, COTAK can create special mutual aid channels which are accessible by multiple agencies. The system automates the process of providing these channels to individual first responders by making each responder a part of an agency, and each agency can be part of a larger group such as a county or region.

Channels can be created at the level of these larger groups, and are available to all agencies and responders that are members of the county or region. Contact the COTAK project team at support@cotak.gov for assistance creating these mutual aid channels.
