9-1-1 Emergency Communications
Kane County
Kane County has recently contracted with Winbourne & Costas to provide a migration manager to lead their efforts to relocate their 911 center to a new facility. 911 and the Office of Emergency Management will co-locate at the new facility. The project entails reconstruction of the floor space to support the 911 operations and administration, with major re-work of the existing electrical and mechanical infrastructure, the acquisition of some new technology and relocation of much of the existing telephony and radio equipment.
As part of our assignment, we are also relocating the primary radio transmit site, and coincidentally, evaluating radio coverage throughout the county. This analysis will include propagation studies for the receive and transmit sites throughout the County. A result of the study will be the development of a long term strategy and plan for Public Safety radio in the County.
A final aspect of our support is to develop policies and procedures in support of the 911 organization’s move from the Sherriff’s department to an independent KaneComm Board. This also entails an array of consulting activities including the development of chargeback, user agreements and administrative support requirements
