“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!”

–Bruce Davis, Deputy Fire Chief, Santa Monica Fire Department

PSAP Consolidation

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.
