Mokena Fire Joins Regional Partnership for Shared Records System
The Mokena Fire Protection District is set to enhance its data management and emergency response coordination by joining a regional records management system (RMS) alongside four area fire departments. The Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) for the shared system at its May 13 meeting.
The partnership will integrate Mokena’s records with those of New Lenox, Frankfort, Manhattan, and East Joliet. A shared RMS allows for more seamless data access and communication between agencies during mutual aid responses and large-scale incidents.
According to district documents, the move will be implemented with no additional costs to Mokena. The updated IGA was drafted by John Motylinski and approved with a 4-0 roll call vote.
This type of collaborative agreement is becoming more common among public safety agencies looking to improve efficiency and interoperability without the high cost of standalone systems. By pooling resources, the five districts can leverage a more powerful and integrated platform than each might be able to afford individually, ultimately enhancing public safety across the region.
