 | In this series, CNA studies the use of emerging technologies by law enforcement agencies. The Fairfax County (Virginia) Department of Public Safety Communications, or Fairfax County 911, is a large communications center that assists in several types of law enforcement, medical, and fire dispatch services. Fairfax County 911 was an early adopter of Next Generation 911 (NG911) technology, which has expanded agencies’ capabilities to handle mobile calls including location services, coordinate at a large scale across several emergency responders, and integrate data from other communication and dispatch technology. The NG911 adaptation has allowed Fairfax County 911 to respond to a high volume of calls and provide dispatch services to multiple organizations. This case study discusses how NG911 continues to aid deployment. This case study is part of the Addressing Crime through Innovative Technology series.
