Tazewell County, Virginia recently implemented GeoLynx Desktop to improve their emergency response system. Tazewell County wanted a mapping system that would automatically and accurately map the location of 9-1-1 calls and Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) calls for service. The software they replaced was outdated and required manual lookup for each emergency call. Besides updated technology that automatically located 9-1-1 calls, the county wanted a system that was powered by Esri ArcGIS which is their underlying GIS enterprise. To meet their needs, Tazewell County implemented:
- GeoLynx Desktop for automatic 9-1-1 call plotting
- GeoLynx Sync to enable smooth GIS and software updates to all GeoLynx Desktop workstations
- GeoLynx Server for creating an accessible common operating picture
- GeoLynx Server with the ENS add-on for automated outbound emergency notifications
- GeoLynx DMS to maintain recently updated public safety GIS data set
Tazewell County selected GeoComm, a Platinum Tier Esri business partner, to implement GeoLynx Desktop in their communications center to automatically map 9-1-1 calls and Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) calls for service. Tazewell County was also able to seamlessly expand their system to include mass emergency notification using GeoLynx Server and features such as Pictometry integration, HazMAT plume modeling, and other Next Generation 9-1-1 technologies are available through both GeoLynx Desktop and GeoLynx Server.
Through the implementation of these software applications, Tazewell County's dispatch mapping software now contains up-to-date maps and improved technology that allow for increased efficiencies that improve the day-to-day operations in their communications center. Between the GIS portion of this project and the new software applications, Tazewell County is more prepared to respond even faster to the scene of an emergency call.

GIS Data Prep for NG9-1-1, ECRF/LVF and additional data
As our industry edges ever closer to Next Generation technologies, GIS and mapping become a vital component of public safety. The lifeblood of NG9-1-1 is proper data synchronization. NG9-1-1 systems will soon rely on GIS data to determine not only where the call is coming from but also which PSAP the call should be routed to. Attend this session to learn more about the importance of GIS in NG9-1-1 and how to properly prepare your data for a smooth transition.
Customer Testimonial
"As far as getting our systems installed and ready for operation, GeoComm was one of my project vendors that I did not have to worry about in regards to meeting deadlines, commitments, and delivering a functional application. The communication between the JECC and implementation team was key to the success of the project. "
