Impact of the Android 13 update on emergency calls and PSAPs operations

The false call mystery (The Crisis Response Journal, 18:3, September 2023)

The Android 13 update, which started in Q4 2022 with a progressive roll-out, included an emergency SOS functionality to trigger emergency calling after pressing the power button of the handset a certain number of times. That Android 13 update was adapted in different manners by OEMs, and recent data seems to suggest that there was a high increase in automatic false calls generated specifically from Samsung devices.

GIS Basics for the Public Safety Professional

In the shift to Next Generation 9-1-1, GIS will play an important role in call routing for public safety, and much of the critical information on GIS is not widely shared with 9-1-1 dispatchers across the country. Join this webinar for an introduction of GIS and a high-level discussion of how it may affect the applications used in the PSAP for dispatch and 9-1-1.

COVID-19: Maintaining Operations Remotely (On-demand)

Public safety answering points (PSAPs) and emergency communications centers (ECCs) play a critical role in communities during normal times, but in times of crisis, their role becomes even more important. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues its spread across the country, having a plan in place to support remote work for call takers and dispatchers to ensure ongoing operations is imperative.

Strategic Planning for Public Safety Agencies (On-demand)

In today’s evolving emergency communications environment, public safety agencies are often expected to do more with fewer resources. This reality means that strategic planning, and determining how best to leverage the available resources, is more crucial than ever before. This webinar focuses on the benefits of strategic planning for public safety agencies and different approaches to development.

GIS Data & NG911 Readiness - Exploring Strategies, Dispelling Misconceptions

Next Generation 911 (NG911) systems rely on geospatial routing generated by geographic information systems (GIS) to connect emergency callers and 911 centers. But GIS data first needs to be readied so that it aligns with industry standards and can be used in the NG911 environment. This webinar explores strategies for doing so while dispelling common misconceptions that lead many emergency communications center officials to believe that their GIS data is closer to NG911 readiness than it is.

• Robert Horne, Senior Technology Specialist, MCP’s Technical Domain Lead and certified emergency number professional (ENP).

Taming 911 Turnover: Strategies for Success

911 telecommunicators everywhere are reaching a breaking point. It is no wonder that in the US, the average annual turnover is nearing 30% and 1 in 5 telecommunicators leave their job in the first year. With a shrinking applicant pool, it’s more important than ever to keep telecommunicators happy and engaged.

This webinar povides innovative solutions that 911 centers are implementing to tame rising turnover.

Optimizing PSAP Staff Performance & Reducing Turnover

Running an emergency communications center isn’t easy. Challenges can come from every direction: scrutiny over incident handling, funding, and staffing issues.

Telecommunicators are the very heart of emergency communications, but with high levels of turnover, the revolving door is working against public safety answering points (PSAPs).

In this session, you’ll learn how NICE Inform can give your PSAP the tools you need to improve retention, and coach, develop and train telecommunicators for success.
