Action Required for MARCS Radio Users
All departments using Ohio Multi-Agency Radio Communication System (MARCS) must take action to ensure their devices continue to work once new security layers are adopted as part of a statewide effort. With the exception of radios purchased after July 2019, all MARCS radios must be updated prior to July 2025 to continue functioning properly. The cost to update each device is $100. Please contact Ohio State Public Safety’s Paul Richmond (richmond.200@osu.edu) for additional information. Email: richmond.200@osu.edu Phone: 614-292-2903
