Dispatching duties for the city of Worthington’s emergency services
will be performed by the Northwest Regional Emergency Communications
Center in Dublin starting in July 2020.
City councils in both of those cities have authorized their respective city managers to enter into a contract for the service.
The
NRECC is based in Dublin police headquarters and is a safety
communications agency partnership with police departments in Dublin,
Hilliard and Upper Arlington and fire departments in Upper Arlington and
Norwich and Washington townships.
Sarasota County, Fla., yesterday announced that it has selected
RapidDeploy to provide its 911 emergency communications center with a
new cloud-based computer-aided dispatch (CAD)—or cloud-aided dispatch—in
an effort to improve the center’s flexibility, operations and security,
according to a county official.
Sarasota County 911 Director Sally Lawrence said moving her center’s
CAD system to the cloud from a fully on-premise environment is an
attractive proposition.
After a company that made software James City County police use to manage its records was sold in May,
the new owner said it would no longer support the old systems. That
prompted county officials to reconsider a merger between the county’s
911 dispatch center and the regional emergency communications center in
an effort to save tax dollars.
While
a feasibility study on the potential merger slid by the wayside after
it was published last year, it resurfaced after the police department’s
digital records management software distributor, Central Square, said it
would no longer update the product in about a year, according to County
Administrator Scott Stevens. It’d take months for the county to find a
new service provider and that could come with a hefty price tag.
