GIS MAPPING: The State of Iowa requires each County in Iowa to have Next Generation 911 GIS accuracy of 98% or higher on all data layers along with an ALI synchronization to the GIS Road Centerline accuracy rate of 95% or higher, our County has continued to fulfill these requirements.

GLOBAL PANDEMIC: We implemented additional cleaning protocols, limited visitors in the dispatch center and did our best to limit our staff’s movement throughout the dispatch room to do our best to keep them healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have worked with public safety partners and our Medical Director to ask additional screening questions so responders are aware and protected. We have taken part in daily, then weekly, Emergency Operations Center briefings and then shared that information with our staff regarding the City and County’s response.

STAFFING: We were able to add an additional full time Communications Operator that was approved for the FY2020 budget year. This position was filled and is currently in training.

CALEA: Continue to make CALEA Accreditation and best practices part of daily operations so our agency is continually and systematically reviewing itself for continual improvement. We were successful during our annual review in November of 2019.
