<strong>Cuyahoga</strong> <strong>County</strong>: PSAP Assessment<br />
1. Project Overview<br />
<strong>Cuyahoga</strong> <strong>County</strong> currently has 47 <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> <strong>Answering</strong> <strong>Point</strong>s (PSAPs) within<br />
its geographic footprint. For those PSAPs that participated in the study, it was<br />
clear that each takes great care in the handling of emergency calls and the<br />
quality of service is paramount. That being said, the sheer number of PSAPs<br />
throughout the <strong>County</strong> poses some obvious issues that range from limited<br />
interoperability in the region to the inability to maximize cost efficiencies.<br />
At a high level, the consolidation of a select number of PSAPs can provide the<br />
following benefits:<br />
Services improvements and efficiencies designed to improve multijurisdictional<br />
responses<br />
Technology advancements by leveraging enterprise applications<br />
Cost advantages by increasing buying power and decreasing the burden<br />
on the individual municipalities and taxpayers<br />
Regional, state and federal partnering opportunities<br />
This project conducts detailed analysis to better understand where overlap exists<br />
amongst the PSAPs in <strong>Cuyahoga</strong> <strong>County</strong>. The overall objective of this<br />
assessment is to determine the feasibility of reducing the number of PSAPs<br />
