Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network
Replacing King County’s aging emergency radio system, the Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network (PSERN), is a vital and complex public safety effort that involves working with a wide range of stakeholders. We identify scope, schedule, and budget risks to King County’s $273 million levy funded project to upgrade its emergency radio network.
