Metro Emergency Operations Center (Metro 911) in Kanawha County, W.Va., is implementing New World Systems' Aegis computer-aided dispatch (CAD) solution to improve emergency response through integrated mapping and automated dispatch tools.
New World's CAD will allow Metro 911 to leverage Kanawha County's extensive GIS data to help dispatchers quickly locate emergencies and send the closest first responders, according to New World.
"Time is of the essence in our job," said Lt. Paul Dryden. "All of the dispatchers felt New World's software was the most user-friendly solution we evaluated. That, and the integrated mapping, will provide more information and help speed the processing of calls."
