UPDATE ON PSAPS – ORGANIZATION, GOVERNANCE AND POLICY MATTERS Mr. Daddow submitted a handout to the committee members on Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Centralization Business Issues – Status, and he gave a brief review of this information. He mentioned that there are 31 PSAPs in Oakland County. He gave a brief history of how the PSAP concept originated. In 2000 a study was conducted, and 13 police departments participated in this study. In October 2001 , the PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE Page 4 January 13, 2004 results of the study reflected an annual saving for the communities of about $5000. At this time there was a great deal of interest by police departments to participate in one centralized PSAP for Oakland County. The next step was to find a facili ty to house the PSAP. Oakland County placed a bid on one facility, but it was not accepted. In the summer of 2002, 20 police agencies out of 31 petitioned Oakland County to launch the PSAP program. Currently, only five (5) agencies are interested in lau nching this program, including the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department. The project is now on hold because there is not enough interest to make it financially feasible to purchase a facility to house a centralized PSAP. Douglas moved to receive and file the information. Supported by Kowall. Motion carried on a voice vote. POTTER ASSUMED CHAIR AT 2:14 P.M. CRAWFORD RESUMED CHAIR AT 2:16 P.M. INFORMATIONAL ITEM A.
