Explore Key Findings
Chapter 1
Land Mobile Radio
Our findings show advancements in interoperability, but many LMR systems still operate largely on analog technology and a large proportion of radios lack advanced features.
Chapter 2
Geographic Information Systems
GIS requires staff, data, hardware, software, and systems for it to be successful in the operation of a Next Generation 911 (NG911) system.
Chapter 3
Next Generation 911 (NG911) Readiness
Our findings depict a long road ahead to implementing NG911, with almost all ECCs experiencing medium to high risk for all essential components that are critical for achieving NG911.
Chapter 4
Emergency Communications Center (ECC) Operations
Our analysis demonstrated a need for public-safety leadership to grow beyond being focused on tactics and evolve into embracing a long-term vision and communicating it effectively throughout the organization.
Chapter 5
Staffing
While many ECCs appear to have improved management and organizational structures, most are unable to hire the full complement of personnel needed to meet today’s operating needs, let alone future needs.
Chapter 6
Security
Public safety agencies need significant improvement in numerous critical areas required for a proactive and resilient cybersecurity posture.
Chapter 7
Data Integration
Public safety leaders should be focused on building a culture where the organization fully understands and supports the importance of data.
