TALKING POINTS
APCO, International recognizes that
public safety must develop effective partnerships as well as
clearly define
the most appropriate data to cause the prompt, effective and
competent dispatch of appropriate emergency
services.
These
information elements may arrive at the Primary PSAP from private
sector public safety and service
entities, agencies at the all levels of local, county, state and
federal government and related services.
In addition,
the availability of additional event related data must be made
available as needed to associated
agencies including hospitals, transportation, public works,
environmental services, disaster relief organizations
and the like.
The Committee has chosen to pursue these challenges to existing
systems by the use of Focus Groups. These
Groups are called together via conference call and as necessary
face to face meetings to identify, agree upon
and define the data fields required to maximize the intelligent
deployment of appropriate resources. The use of
a standard data set as well as the cooperative interaction of
public safety Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD)
systems is required as well as several means of moving the data
as needed.
