911 director says RapidSOS and new CAD PCs improve caller location tracking
Summary
Jefferson County's 911 Director reported new CAD PCs are arriving and RapidSOS has been fully deployed, providing continuous GPS tracking from callers' phones to create a "breadcrumb" trail of movement that assists emergency response in abduction or vehicle incidents.
Brandon Tucker, Jefferson County's 911 Director, told commissioners that replacement PCs for aging CAD machines have arrived and are awaiting installation. He also said the RapidSOS system is fully deployed in the county, enabling continuous GPS location tracking from callers' phones rather than a single ping and producing a "breadcrumb" trail of movement that can be especially helpful in abduction or vehicle incidents.
Tucker said the system allows dispatchers to see real-time location updates and precise pinpoint tracking, and he listed agencies that will be notified about address changes related to the ordinance adopted earlier in the meeting. The county will continue hardware upgrades as installation proceeds.
