Our County Police <br />Dlipartment has banded together with Police, Fire and <br />Emergency Medical agencies from across the nation to <br />share expertise and resources, and jointly develop the <br />new computer programs required to successfully <br />accomplish this goal:' <br />G. H. Kleinknei <br />Superintendent, <br />St. Louis County Police Deparintent, <br />was the first Public Safety Official <br />responsible for formally supporting and initiating the <br />CAD Consortiums many ellims. Colonel Kleinknechi <br />states, "The Consortium is the vehicle necessary tood <br />produce effective and efficient delivery of call <br />processing functions to )1)ur citizens. The collective <br />and dedicated eftbris of Fire. EMS and Police <br />professionals have not only served as the Ibundation <br />for the Consortiums present achievements, but has <br />,list) proven to he the lint step towards successful, <br />future results:' <br />'K <br />Jahn J. Norton. <br />Director of Public Salct_v. <br />City of Pittsburgh. <br />states, "The CAD Consortium <br />often public safety agencies a unique oppoirturiaN' to <br />collectively share knowledge and experience to <br />produce a product specific to public safety <br />applications. The Consottium also represents a prudent <br />approach to the expenditure of tax dollars:' <br />John Leahy, <br />Fire Chief, Department of <br />Public Safety. City of Pittsburgh, <br />states, "The CAD Consortium <br />offers fire safety professionals control over their own <br />destiny. The current CAD system was specifically <br />designed for police use and modified to handle tire. <br />The Consortium gives fire professionals the <br />opportunity to design their own system and aft6rdably <br />adjust the system to meet the changing needs of the <br />fire department:' <br />40 <br />Joseph Nasser, <br />Director of kimergency <br />Management l C AIIIIIIIII1Uialion', <br />Volusia County, Horida. states. <br />"The loss of public safety grant fund sources, <br />din)inished federal revenue sharing programs and <br />I:ailurc of sonic vendors 10 provide continued <br />maintenance of sone older generation CAD y.Ienvs <br />have made it virtually impossible for manv local <br />governments 10 either realize the increased efficiency <br />of CAD or to modify or expand their existing systems. <br />The CAD Consortium ot)en the opportunity for these <br />agencies t) obtain a CAD system at a traction tit the <br />development cost of vendor-proviCILd systems. Further. <br />it ensures continued software support, cost elle, tive <br />expansion (through its modular design), and Mortis <br />the end user a Choice of hardware." <br />
