Objective
The primary purposes of this initiative are to: 1) assist and encourage consolidations of ETSBs and PSAPs; 2) ensure E9-1-1 coverage is expanded throughout the State; and 3) create more efficient and cost effective systems throughout the State. The anticipated benefit of this initiative is statewide E9-1-1 coverage that reduces the number of transfers of 9-1-1 calls, reduces the amount of infrastructure required statewide, promotes cost savings from resource sharing; facilitates interoperability and resiliency for the receipt of 9-1-1 calls, reduces the number of PSAP’s statewide, and promotes long term cost savings.
