New
911 System Up and Running
|
| In
May 2006, the township activated our new state-of-the-art 911
Emergency Response System that is the first of its kind in Summit
County. In fact, the system is so new and so advanced that many
communities are sending representatives to our Safety Center to
view the system in action. |
| The township's
old 911 system was operational for more than 20 years. During
that time, with all of the advances in computer technology, our
old system became sadly outdated. That will not happen for years
to come since the new system constantly updates itself with new
information. |
| The system
is Phase II compliant, meaning that it recognizes the caller's
phone number including cell phone numbers, and through a Global
Positioning System, pinpoints the location of the phone being
used to make the call. Since portions of the township are heavily
wooded and miles of the Metro Parks' Bike & Hike Trail bisect
our community, this feature will assist police, fire, and rescue
personnel in pinpointing the exact location of someone needing
assistance, no matter where they may be calling from. Here's how
the system works: |
| |
A 911 calls comes into township police headquarters at the Safety
Center. |
| |
As
the call is being answered, the dispatcher's computer displays
the caller's phone number and a map pops up identifying the exact
location of the call. |
| |
Once
the nature of the emergency and the details of the call are verified,
the dispatcher immediately notifies the appropriate safety forces
and the police so that the call is responded to in a timely manner. |
| |
To
aid in response time, the system will soon be integrated with
all police cruiser computers so that on-duty officers will immediately
see the same map that the dispatcher sees, pinpointing the emergency
location. |
| In addition
to serving our township's police department, the system is also
used to direct Northfield Village police and Northfield Center
and Northfield Village fire departments. |
