SPRINGFIELD, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Spok today announced it will showcase its emergency response
technologies and solutions at five public safety conferences across the
country over the next few months. The first conference begins today in
Somerset, N.J., with the New Jersey Government Management Information
Sciences (GMIS) 2015 Technology Education Conference, and culminates in
June at the annual National Emergency Number Association (NENA)
Conference and Expo in Denver.
Spok will demonstrate its emergency response capabilities at each event,
including its public safety answering point call-taking
and dispatch console, enhanced
9-1-1, emergency
notification, and critical
alerting solutions. While an increasing number of government,
military, and municipal organizations work with Spok to support their
emergency response programs with the latest technology, the Company
plans to introduce other public safety organizations to its extensive
portfolio of emergency response solutions during these conferences.
“We bring decades of experience in emergency response technology,” said
Colin Balmforth, president of Spok. “More and more organizations—from
military bases and local governments to hospitals and universities—are
turning to Spok for efficient public safety communications that help
save lives. Our solutions provide a highly reliable communications
infrastructure that supports timely emergency response.”
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in Castle Rock, Colo., is one local
government agency that recently implemented Spok’s critical alerting
solution. Sheriff’s Office personnel use the Spok solution with its
computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system to deliver time-critical messages
to any staff member device. The organization was seeking a robust and
flexible solution that would allow dispatchers to send notifications for
everything from planned system maintenance to incidents requiring
immediate response.
“We rely on the Spok solution,” said Anne McNulty, applications
specialist at the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. “It is used
effectively by all county entities, including the dispatch center,
patrol units, medical units, the jail, and the courthouse. We would
recommend the Spok solution to other agencies looking for a similar
solution.”
