"I would venture to say that any 911 center has, at their console, log-ins to no less than 15 systems every single day." – Ty Wooten, ENP, Director of Government Affairs, IAED
When a 911 call comes in, what actually happens to that call? Many people may be surprised to find out that telecommunicators manage an intense stream of real-time information under severe pressure, and may orchestrate response logistics across 15+ applications.

🗺️ Reveal how CAD interfaces often dump vital structured protocol data into plain text notes.
💡 Explain why modernizing PSAP software integration is critical to improving emergency outcomes.
