Sheriff's Office and City of Circleville can now automatically locate wireline, wireless calls to 9-1-1

COLUMBUS, OHIO - Festival-goers of the "greatest free show on earth," the Circleville Pumpkin Show in Pickaway County, will be safer next year, thanks to Digital Data Technologies, Inc.'s (DDTI®) AccuGlobe® E9-1-1 Dispatch™ mapping software.  DDTI completed installation and training of the application at the Pickaway County Sheriff's Office, the default Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for all of the County's wireless calls.  The Circleville Police Department also has AccuGlobe E9-1-1 software installed in their dispatch center.
 
"Safety is paramount every day of the year, but having the reliability and accuracy of AccuGlobe E9-1-1 Dispatch is especially helpful during our big event over four days every October when we attract 400,000 tourists to a town of only 12,000" said Pickaway County 9-1-1 Coordinator Terry Frazier.  "We pride ourselves on service, and the E9-1-1 Dispatch software helps us enhance what we provide to our community and those who visit."

 AccuGlobe E9-1-1 Dispatch reads direct Automatic Location Information (ALI) via an associated server component.  The server then populates 9-1-1 calls on the dispatchers' screen as locations on the jurisdictional map.  Calls from land lines zoom directly to the structure using the county's existing Geographical Information System.  Wireless calls, depending on the carrier, will appear as points on the map surrounded by a circle, or buffer, indicating confidence of the call location.

 In addition to simply mapping calls, AccuGlobe E9-1-1 Dispatch software offers automatic routing applications to help expedite emergency response vehicles and advanced search capabilities by address, landmark, buffer, intersection and latitude/longitude.   A hyperlink feature lets users link places on the map with pertinent documents or Web sites.

 Optional advanced features of E9-1-1 Dispatch include emergency response notification service and automatic vehicle location (AVL).  The AVL function was designed to aid PSAPs like police departments and 9-1-1 dispatch centers in virtually locating and tracking the activity of their fleet without the need for verbal radio communication. 

 AccuGlobe E9-1-1 mapping software functions as a stand-alone product, or can successfully integrate with any client's cooperating existing Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) vendor.
