Title:
title
Approval of and authorization to execute the Mission Critical Partners contract for Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP) services
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. 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.
The Department has a CIP project set aside as a To-Be-Determined fund for projects like this. $11,000.00 from the line item will be programmed for use on the ASAP project.
Cost: $10,720.00
Funding Source: CIP Project 2536030
