South Central Region 9-1-1 in Jerome, Idaho.
South Central Region 9-1-1 is a four-county regional consolidated dispatch center that was formed as part of the implementation of Enhanced 9-1-1 services in the area. Prior to the formation of South Central Regional 9-1-1, there were six separate dispatch centers in the same four-county area. ADCOMM Engineering was selected to assist in the development of a radio communications, enhanced 9-1-1, and dispatch center plan to meet the needs of all the public safety users in the four-county area. This involved working with a wide variety of users from paid fire departments to all volunteer units, from full-time law enforcement agencies to departments with one full-time staff member and several part-time deputies. The terrain covered from the rolling plains areas to the rugged Snake River canyons.
ADCOMM Engineering performed the following:
- Worked with the users to develop a communications system plan
- Developed an enhanced 9-1-1 plan that covered the four-county area
- Designed, specified and implemented digital microwave system, radio sites, computer-aided dispatch system,
Enhanced 9-1-1 telephone system and ancillary dispatch center support equipment
- Provided special systems engineering and technical support to the architect that designed the dispatch center.
