A Brief on Automatic Vehicle Location

Whenever it is about offering emergency response, the dispatchers will first need to identify the location of the caller. In all the situations of emergency response, AVL (automatic vehicle location) comes to the rescue. Know the emergency dispatchers work day and night to continually improve the effectiveness in protecting their communities, and a part of that is done through the modern law enforcement software. AVLs are crucial because they help you manage your fleet, but not everyone would understand how this type of application works. Even the workers with NDRRMC do not understand how AVL helps them on regular basis. Let us throw some information on this here. AVL (automatic vehicle location) is a system that utilizes GPS tracking to follow the location of vehicles in real time. The information received is then transmitted to a central software application so that fleet managers can see where all of their assets are at any given point in time. As a result, there is better coordina...

Benefits of Using CAD in Emergency Response

Gone are the days when computer aided dispatch was considered a luxury. Today, it has become a priority in public safety communication centers to manage all the information. The benefits of an effective dispatching software goes beyond the 911 center. From the law enforcements, emergency medical services to dispatch software along with a host of other public safety issues clearly demonstrates the advantages of this technology. Plus, computer aided dispatch works very well with the latest NGA 911 and improves the working of emergency dispatchers and responders. More of these benefits are realized through the innovative approach to software solutions available. Let us check the benefits of CAD in public safety and 911 communication centers. The use of CAD is perhaps the most common initiator that prompts action from the first responders. Calls received for services such as any combination of law enforcement, fire fighters, or EMS, begin at a public safety answering point. These systems ...

Things PSAPs Look In Their Nga 911 System

Whether you are working as a first line responder or a part of a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), you must have heard of NGA 911 or probably you receive calls through this number. Basically, NGA 911 offers emergency services that is more advanced that its predecessor 911. As the switch was mandatory, the same will result in significant changes and improvements in the public safety system. The legacy systems built around landlines lack the speed, flexibility and general functionality. We can say that the transition is underway and most of the public safety systems are trying to adapt to the new emergency response technologies, there are a few factors to consider while implementing this new Carbyne system. What are these factors? Let us have a quick look at things here: The new system installed should be fully customizable and intuitive. An intuitive system will make the transition easy for you, customization ensures that the system is equipped to handle your specific call flow req...

How is NGA 911 Changing The Way We Respond?

We are all fortunate to witness the era where the emergency response systems are improving. Years ago we could only call on 911 and it wasn’t useful during a situation when talking over a voice call wasn’t possible. Thankfully, the legacy technology 911 is evolving into NGA 911 . Here are the possible ways the next generation 911 is changing the way we respond: *Emergencies Emergencies are called so because they are instant and unpredictable. So, many public safety organizations are switching to next generation 911 so that they can deliver faster, more effective responses to 911 disasters. *Advanced Communication Capabilities A critical and significant element of NGA 911 is its enhanced communication capabilities. With this emergency response system in place, the public safety agencies can quickly share information with each other and citizens and real time. The information includes multimedia such as text, voice to text messages, videos, photos, and more. *Improved Data Management Ano...
