The island of Guam is transforming its Emergency Response capabilities with Next Generation 9-1-1 technology and Caliber's state-of-the-art CAD and Mobile solutions
After a comprehensive assessment, the Guam Fire Department (GFD) is partnering with Caliber Public Safety to modernize their emergency response with Next Generation software solutions.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Nov. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As the westernmost point and Territory of the United States, Guam's unofficial motto is "Where America's Day Begins." It will also be where the first 9-1-1 calls on a calendar day will be dispatched using Caliber's Computer-Aided Dispatch solutions.
After a thorough evaluation process, the Guam Fire Department (GFD) announced the award and notice to proceed with Tyto Government Solutions (Tyto) to upgrade from the existing obsolete E9-1-1 system and deliver Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) equipment, technology, and services. The NG9-1-1 system will give emergency call takers and first responders an accurate and comprehensive view of incidents, improved caller location, enhanced mapping, decision support tools, and more. Among the project's various components, Caliber Public Safety, a Tyto GSI partner, will deliver the Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Mobile solutions, including PocketRescue™ – a smartphone application enabling access to mission-critical information.
Caliber Public Safety and Tyto team members are on-island this month meeting with the various project stakeholders gathering data and planning for the installation and training in this transformative project.
"While our administration restored the 911 special fund, we must also follow through with ensuring the proper systems are in place to enable our first responders to perform their life-saving mission," said Governor Lou Leon Guerrero.
"Fire Chief Stone and the GFD Team are beyond excited to finally have reached this milestone and give the world's current 911 technology to the Emergency Medical Dispatchers within the 911 Communications Center," said Acting Fire Chief Joey C. San Nicolas.
