title
Approval of and authorization to execute the CentralSquare contract for Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP) Interface
End
Background:
The Police Department originally contracted with CentralSquare for a program interface for ASAP. For various reasons this did not come to fruition. ASAP is a protocol allowing alarm company vendors to send active alarms into a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system for eventual dispatch to the appropriate First Responders. Recently, the ASAP Program developed and released a new program which allows for a more streamlined interface with ASAP and CAD vendors. This is accomplished using an Application Programming Interface (API) provided by ASAP program. The department also possesses a CAD API from CentralSquare, which in conjunction with the ASAP API will allow for a direct interface between both systems. Additionally, CentralSquare will require an interface to facilitate the connection between the ASAP Program and the CAD API. Implementation of the ASAP program will speed responses to alarms, reduce time spent on call taking and errors in call taking, and make the alarm response process more efficient.
There is an annual maintenance cost of six-thousand dollars ($6,000.00) which going forward will be financed by the police department’s operational budget.
Cost: $10,123.66
Funding Source: CIP Project 2630280
