PRESENTATION (1) San Mateo County 911 Communications: New Facility and Computer Aided Dispatch System Presentation Town Manager Dennis introduced Jamie Young, Project Manager, 911 Communications Center and Computer Aided Dispatch. Ms. Young shared the background and history regarding the 911 Communications Center and its evolution. She narrated a slide show detailing the public safety services provided by the Center. She explained the current technologies in use and described the new emerging technologies. Ms. Young was accompanied by the Director of Operations for Public Safety Communications, Dan Belville. Ms. Young described the history, background, and details of the 911 services provided, including the evolution of the 911 wireless system. In response to Mayor Hughes’ question, Ms. Young said that if someone texts 911 into their mobile phones, they will get a bounce back message. She said there is a text control center, a filter that messages go through before they go to the 911 center, and the attempts made are not calculated. Ms. Young described the emerging Next Gen system, which all Counties are supposed to be on by 2020. She said, however, the State has not yet allocated funding for that, so the anticipated completion date of 2020 is unlikely. She said the County is preparing the new building so it will be ready when the Next Gen system rolls out. She said the Next Gen Center will include a real-time crime center with predictive crime analytics. Ms. Young described some of the emerging third-party apps in the public safety arena and the difficulty in managing them. She said the 911 Centers are moving into operations centers and the new technology is influencing how they do business. She said their regional operations center is currently in the construction document planning phase, which will provide them at least two-thirds more space than they currently have, and they are planning appropriately for growth. She said their basic function is 911 communications – getting resources to an emergency – but they are now moving toward a slew of other types of business in the public safety sector. 1 Page 5 Ms. Young invited questions from the Council. Councilmember Wengert asked for clarification regarding how the automated medical functionality works. Ms. Young said when someone calls 911 and says someone is having a heart attack, the dispatcher goes through a list of questions that provides patient information to determine the criticality of the patient’s status. She said as they move toward a full arrest situation, then that automation gives them the cue to move into step-by-step CPR sequence. She said it is an automated system in that as the dispatcher asks the questions and enters the answers, the next appropriate question pops up to get to the applicable instructions. She confirmed it is real time with a dispatcher, immediately redirected based on the criticality. The dispatcher stays on the phone with the caller and patient until first responders arrive. Councilmember Wengert asked for a description of the backup systems in place in the event of a massive earthquake or massive power failure. Mr. Belville said there is a backup station in Redwood City that is substandard because it is a small space and in close enough proximity that it may also be impacted by whatever impacts the main station. He said he met today with the San Francisco airport, who does have room at their facility. He said an obstacle is transporting their staff through Redwood City to the San Francisco airport during a disaster such as an earthquake. He said the County is building a new fire station at Tower Road and they can set up a dispatcher center in the back of the station while it’s being built. He said they were also in conversation with San Mateo about a switch that can be flipped to transfer calls there. He said another option would be to purchase some very robust trailers that are more mobile. He said it is a high priority and they are looking at three or four options to determine what will be best to achieve optimum redundancy.
