Abstract
Methods and systems for controlling inter-agency, incident scene communications. One method includes storing, in a memory of a first dispatch device of a first agency, subscription information from a second agency. The method further includes establishing a geo-fence surrounding an incident and a talk group that allows communication devices to communicate with each other within the geo-fence. The method further includes identifying the second agency based on the geo-fence and transmitting a request to the second agency based on incident information and the subscription information. The request includes role information based on the incident information. The method further includes receiving information relating to an available communication device affiliated with the second agency. The available communication device is selected based on the role information. The method further includes transmitting instructions to the available communication device to control the available communication device to join the talk group.
