WHEREAS the Oakland University Police Department has served as a dispatch center for
emergency calls originating from the campus internal telephone system for many years but has
not been listed as a 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) in the 9-1-1 Service Plan; and
WHEREAS the Oakland University Police Department receives transfer wireless 9-1-1 calls from
surrounding Primary PSAPs without the benefit of caller identifying data; and
WHEREAS, in order to receive identifying caller data on transferred wireless 9-1-1 calls, a

identified in the 911 Service Plan as a Primary or Secondary PSAP; and
WHEREAS a Secondary PSAP is defined in the Emergency Service Enabling Act, Michigan
Public Act 32 of 1986, MCL §484.1101 et seq, as amended, as a PSAP that receives 9-1-1 calls
from the public switched telephone network by the transfer method only; and
WHEREAS the Final Amended 9-1-1 Service Plan for the County of Oakland states that
Secondary PSAPs shall assume all costs associated with functioning as a Secondary PSAP, and
WHEREAS the Emergency 9-1-1 Service Enabling Act, Michigan Public Act 32 of 1986, MCL
§484.1101 et seq, as amended, provides a mechanism under which a PSAP may be added as a
Secondary PSAP by providing written notice to the County Clerk of its intention to function as a
Secondary PSAP; and

Trustees and the Oakland University Police Department of its intention to function as a
Secondary PSAP under the Final Amended 9-1-1 Service Plan for the County of Oakland; and

OAKLAND COUNTY 911 PUBLIC SAFETY ANSWERING POINT
A Recommendation
1. Division and Department: Finance and Administration, Police Department
2. Introduction: The Oakland University Police Department (OUPD) currently receives
on-campus 911 emergency calls through a multiline telephone system and 911 emergency calls
transferred from local agencies that are applicable to Oakland University.
In 2012, the Federal Communications Commission enacted the Multiline Telephone Services
Act (Act), which mandates that all such 911 emergency calls be routed directly to a "Public
Safety Answering Point" (PSAP). OUPD is not currently designated as a PSAP, and therefore,
the University cannot continue to route 911 emergency calls to OUPD and be in compliance
with the Act. Compliance with the Act must occur by December 31, 2016.
To ensure that OUPD can continue to respond to 911 emergency calls timely, and because of
the unique needs of a university campus wherein callers also use 911 for non-traditional
emergency calls, the OUPD strongly recommends that the University pursue classification as a
PSAP and participate in hardware and software system upgrades with Oakland County.
Designation as a PSAP under the Act requires governing body approval, and therefore Board of
Trustee (Board) approval. Upon Board approval, the OUPD will file written notice with the
Oakland County Clerk's Office of the intent to function as a PSAP, and when complete, a
resolution will be introduced to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners to approve the
addition of the OUPD to the Oakland County 911 Services Plan. Oakland County supports the
addition of the OUPD.
3. Previous Board Action: None.
4. Budget Implications: The cost of this project is projected to be $250,000 and will be
funded from the Capital Projects Supplement Fund. The project will take 12-18 months to
complete.
5. Educational Implications:. None.
6. Personnel Implications: None.
7. University Reviews/Approvals: This recommendation was prepared by the OUPD
Chief of Police and reviewed by the Vice President of Finance and Administration, and
President.
8. Recommendation:
WHEREAS, Oakland University operates a muitiline telephone system that falls
under the Multiline Telephone Services Act (Act) requiring the University to transmit 911 location
information to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP); and

WHEREAS, the Oakland University Police Department (OUPD) currently
answers campus 911 calls but is not classified as a PSAP in the Oakland County 911 Services

answering point for 911 calls on campus; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees authorizes the OUPD Chief of Police to
file a notice of intent to operate as a PSAP with the Oakland County Clerk and seek inclusion in
the Oakland County 911 Services Plan; and, be it further
RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees authorizes the President, the Vice
President for Finance and Administration, and their respective designees, to perform all acts
and deeds and to execute and deliver all contracts, instruments and documents required by this
resolution that are necessary, expedient and proper in connection with the PSAP Project and
the ongoing administration of the PSAP Project; and, be it further
