GeoComm Selected by the State of Utah to complete Salt Lake
Metro 9-1-1 Assessment and Feasibility Study
St. Cloud, MN: On November 15, GeoComm will initiate a comprehensive
study reviewing five Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) in Salt Lake
County, Utah. The project will assess the operations, systems, and
facilities of the five Salt Lake County PSAPs which service the Salt Lake
City Police Department, Salt Lake Valley Emergency Communications
Center, Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake, University of Utah
Police Department, and the Utah Department of Public Safety Salt Lake
Communications Center.
According to Greg Ballentine, GeoComm’s Director of Consulting Services,
“GeoComm is pleased to have been selected by the State of Utah for this
important project. We have assigned a stellar team to conduct this
assessment on behalf of the participating agencies.”
The project will consist of multiple phases examining the current call
delivery systems, governance, operations, technology, organizational
structure, and facilities supporting public safety communications in Salt
Lake County. GeoComm will use the results of the assessment to provide a
comprehensive report and recommendations that will serve as a resource for
the participating agencies as they consider options to enhance public
safety services.
The agreement between the State of Utah and GeoComm is for five years
and will provide the Utah 9-1-1 Committee guidance for studying other
portions of the 9-1-1 system within the state.
