What is the maximum length of a broadcast message?

The maximum length of a broadcast message is typically set to 60 seconds to ensure that information is conveyed efficiently and clearly while maintaining the audience's attention. This duration allows law enforcement agencies to deliver critical updates, alerts, or instructions without overwhelming the listeners with too much information. A one-minute time frame is optimal for summarizing key points and facilitating quick understanding, which is essential in emergency situations or when important public safety information needs to be communicated swiftly. Messages longer than this may risk losing the audience’s focus or leading to confusion, making it harder for the intended message to be fully grasped.
