ENHANCED 9-1-1 SYSTEM
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
The Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorized a study to identify alternatives to provide a
more effective link between citizens and emergency service agencies.
The Emergency Communication Task Force (Attachment A) has recommended to the Board of
Commissioners that enhance 9-1-1 be available to all citizens in Oakland County.
The 1985 State of the County Address said that, in 1985, substantial progress toward early
implementation of the 9-1-1 system will become a reality.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
In Oakland County, there are over 100 seven-digit emergency telephone numbers to call a police,
fire, or EMS agency for emergency assistance. A major difficulty in access to emergency services is
securing immediate and appropriate help in emergency situations.
ILL E9-1-1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
9-1-1 is a simple and effective system for the public to access police, fire, and EMS agencies for
emergencies.
To design a 9-1-1 system, four characteristics must be addressed: 1) technical (system equipment
and facilities that will be used); 2) operational (how calls processed, functions performed, and
information systems used); 3) managerial (form and manner to manage technical, operational, and
fiscal characteristics); and 4) fiscal (how to pay for system).
There are three service features that can be established on enhanced 9-1-1 systems: Selective
• Routing (SR), Automatic Number Identification (ANI), and Automatic Location Identification (LI).
See Attachment B for definitions.
The telephone company wire center districts are different than civil jurisdiction boundaries. The SR
feature meshes these boundaries. See Attachment C for Oakland County's description.
In a 9-1-1 system, Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) or points must be established to ini tially
answer the calls. To respond to these calls, the four methods of direct dispatch, call transfer, call
relay, or call referral are available to handle variations in the levels of cooperation and
consolidation between participating agencies. To accomplish these transfers from the PSAP to
other points, various brands and types of equipment are available for lease or purchase.
IV,. RECOMMENDATION
After careful review and analysis, the recommendation is to plan, implement, and maintain a
county-wide enhanced 9-1-1 system through a county/local joint venture.
The county would pay for telephone wire center installation for Selective Routing and Automatic
Number Identification features, and 50% of the recurring costs, if the local communities would be
willing to pay for the remaining 50% of recurring costs, and at the option and expense of the locals
with PSAPs, equipment enhancements.
The County EMS and Disaster Control Division would be responsible for system planning,
coordination, and liaison of 9 -1 -1 services; and the local communities would be responsible for on-
line public safety dispatch center operations, i.e., to determine their Public Safety Answering Point
(PSAP), operational configuration, level of service, and equipment needs.
The joint venture would cost the county, as determined by tariff regulations, about $412,271 for
installation (over time) and about $292,408, which is 50% of the annual recurring costs.
The local communities would cost share (number of mainstations by community) the remaining 50%
annual recurring costs of $292,408. Each community with a PSAP would decide and pay for
equipment for operational enhancement. See Attachment D for local community cost share
estimates and Attachment E for 9-1-1 Service Agreement.
Attachment F is the required Request for Enhanced 9-1-1 Service, as provided by Michigan Bell.
Attachment G is the Timetable for Implementation of 9-1-1.
The recommendation would establish a county leadership posture to plan, fund the "backbone" of the
the system, and cost share with local communities, yet still preserve the local autonomy and
flexibility of public safety dispatch center operations.
The county-wide enhanced 9-1-1 system will improve services and help to: shorten overall response
time to emergencies, reduce confusion and delays, and save more lives and more property.
