OVERVIEW
The San Diego County-Imperial County Regional Communications System (RCS), managed and operated by the San Diego County Sheriff's Office (Sheriff's Office) Wireless Services Division, provides numerous public safety agencies with day-to-day public safety and emergency responder communication support.
Otay Mountain is a Sheriff's Office RCS communications site located in Jamul, a census-designated place in California, which has been operated by the Sheriff's Office since 1996. An amendment to the current license agreement for this site is needed to clarify terms and conditions and to extend the term.
