2003 planning for county government and public safety

I'm looking for anyone who may have some advice or may have had experience
with this type of situation in the local governmetn/public safety sector.

We are currently working to develop and migrate from NT to 2003 server and
exchange. The actual migration part of this is not a problem however the
question of what is the best way to setup the network has become an issue.
We have two IT groups, one for the county gov and one for public safety, each
at their respective locations. The question has come down to does it make
more sense to create an AD structure with a county gov as the only domain and
all other departments, including public safety(which includes dispatching,
fire, EMS, Emergency management, 24/7 operation) as OU's or would it be
beneficial for the public safety division to be another/separate domain
within the AD structure??? Currently the two sides manage their own servers,
exchange, network and have minimal interaction with the exception of email.

Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, feedback...etc are greatly appreciated.

Thanks...
