By: John Ivanic - Columbus City Council Meeting Highlights
Calling 911 will soon be more efficient for area residents. Safety Committee Chair Andrew J. Ginther is sponsoring ordinance 1292-2009 to purchase and install a new Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system for the Police and Fire Communications Center. The $7.2 million system will dramatically assist in the processing of emergency calls from the public by electronically moving pertinent data to the proper field personnel over voice or data communications. The new CAD interfaces with existing technologies and will include a base system with mobile environment features, a Fire RMS (record management system), automated false alarm billing, and a back-up communications center.
