PSAP Consolidation Feasibility Studies

The industry trend toward consolidating public safety communications centers has gained momentum as local governments continually explore ways to improve services and control costs. The concept of consolidating multiple PSAPs into a lesser number can be a daunting task both politically and emotionally. Having been involved at the management and working level in many PSAP consolidation projects, GeoComm can provide professional consultation to organizations addressing the questions "Should we consolidate our 9-1-1 PSAPs with other agencies and/or jurisdictions?" And "if so, how do we do it?"

There is no effective template for a PSAP Consolidation Feasibility Analysis. Each community considering this strategy must examine the political, operational, technical, and financial consequences of every option. GeoComm is an industry leader in assisting local governments to evaluate the specific advantages and disadvantages – and developing effective transition plans when the decision is made to consolidate.
