Alexandria, VA – The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International is seeking comments for the reaffirmation of American National Standard (ANS) Multi-Functional Multi-Discipline Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) Minimum Functional Requirements. A reaffirmation occurs when there are no substantive changes to the standard from the last version.
This standard provides a detailed and comprehensive list of unified functional requirements for CAD systems that may be used by emergency communications centers (ECCs) to assist with the request for proposal (RFP) process when soliciting information for a new CAD system.
“This standard reaffirmation represents APCO’s continued commitment to ensuring that we provide ECC leaders with clear, comprehensive guidance to prepare for and manage the critical functions needed in a public safety CAD system,” said Jack Varnado, president of APCO International.
The public may review and comment on this candidate standard until July 27 via the APCO website.
