NG911 Program Coordinator Peninsula Fiber Network Marquette, Michigan
Geo-fence events are rapidly becoming a commonly used tool in the NG911 environment, allowing PSAPs to define an event perimeter. This session explores how perimeter-based call routing streamlines dispatch operations and improves response times. Attendees will learn practical applications, implementation considerations, and real-world examples from Michigan’s NG911 network. We will also discuss how integrating perimeter capabilities into existing workflows can reduce call-processing time and deliver more accurate incident data. Join us to understand the value that geo-fencing events bring to modern public safety communications.
Learning Objectives:
We will explain the purpose and function of geo-fence events in NG911, how a perimeter is created, and how 911 calls are received and processed during an event.
We will identify the operational benefits of using a geo-fence, such as improved situational awareness, faster call processing, and enhanced responder coordination.
We will outline the steps required to incorporate geofence events and provide practical use cases.
