<strong>Cuyahoga</strong> <strong>County</strong>: PSAP Assessment<br />

10. Risks<br />

During the course of this study, several important risks to the <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Safety</strong><br />

Sector of <strong>Cuyahoga</strong> <strong>County</strong> are noted below. An additional re<strong>com</strong>mendation of<br />

the study would be to develop a risk mitigation plan for the documented<br />

concerns.<br />

There is an inherent risk of individual PSAPs taking their own 9-1-1<br />

cellular calls.<br />

There is an inherent risk of TAC as a current CAD Vendor for so many<br />

PSAPs. TAC is not an enterprise class CAD application and is currently not<br />

maintaining a robust patching and configuration management program for<br />

all CAD clients.<br />

There would be an impact of FTE reductions with Police if Dispatch<br />

positions are taken away.<br />

City of <strong>Cleveland</strong> currently has no back-up site for their Dispatch<br />

Operations.<br />

There is a lack of political and organizational leadership to support the<br />

consolidation projects in many cities.<br />

There is a lack of consistency with project management and project<br />

support while implementing, building new regional PSAPs. For example,<br />

vision for technologies, standard operating procedures, infrastructure,<br />

training for dispatchers, etc. should be similar for all<br />

Regional/Consolidated Dispatch Centers.<br />
