The notion of consolidating multiple PSAPs into a lesser number can be a
daunting task both politically, financially, and operationally. There are a lot of
questions, many people involved at different levels, and big questions to
answer.
Before a successful PSAP consolidation can be achieved, several important
items must be reviewed to determine the feasibility of merging multiple
communication centers. By utilizing GeoComm’s Consulting Services group
to assist in your PSAP consolidation project, you will find a partner to guide
your organization through the entire consolidation feasibility review and
planning process.
GeoComm’s consolidation studies examine a broad range of issues such
as:
• Review of existing public safety dispatch center operations and technology
• Provide options for improved emergency communication services at the
most reasonable costs
• Provide recommendations on communication center operations, staffing,
organization, facilities, funding, and governance
• Identify the financial implications associated with consolidating dispatch
centers
• Provide a Feasibility Study which will include recommendations with the
information needed to make informed decisions about the possibility of
consolidation, recommendations on how to properly consolidate, and any
potential obstacles that may surface as a result of consolidation.
PSAP Consolidation
“GeoComm's consulting team was phenomenal from the very start of our project. Our first contact
was the presentation of their proposal to evaluate the Fire Department's current dispatch and
communications system. The GeoComm team presented their proposal with professional
determination, making it easy for the Santa Monica Fire Department to choose GeoComm for the
project. In fact, GeoComm did such a great job throughout the project that the original contract
was modified to include a second contract to oversee the implementation of their
recommendations. We couldn't have been happier in making GeoComm our consulting team!”
