Montgomery County, Texas Sheriff's Department Goes Live on Geac
Public Safety's EnRoute Computer-aided Dispatch System
Improves Response Time with Web Interfaces and Graphical Call Displays
TAMPA, FL, March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Geac(R) Public Safety, a
division of Geac (TSX:GAC, NASDAQ:GEAC), today announced that the Montgomery
County (Texas) Sheriff's Department has gone live with Geac's EnRoute Computer-
aided Dispatch (CAD) software applications to dispatch law enforcement services
for Montgomery County. The software solution includes EnRoute CAD and EnRoute
I-STATUS web access to current call status, along with interfaces to the
Texas Law Enforcement Telecommunications (TLET), E911, and the County's records
management and mobile data systems.
As the seventh largest sheriff's department in Texas with about 450 employees,
Montgomery County Sheriff's Department was seeking a dispatch solution that
could keep up with its immediate demand for performance and growth. It selected
Geac as the one that best met its functional requirements after reviewing
submissions to an RFP. With dedicated teams, Geac and the County were able to
bring the system live in two months.
Sue Bosma, Montgomery County CIS Director, stated, "Upon initiating the trial
program combining Montgomery County Sheriff and Montgomery County 911 Dispatch,
it became evident that our current CAD system would not support additional
dispatch stations. In October 2004, we issued a RFP for a new system. The
successful vendor was required to integrate its CAD solution with The Software
Group (TSG) system and the Custom Logic Design (CLD) Mobile Communication
software (ZClient32). Geac was awarded the contract in January 2005, after we
looked at the Geac EnRoute system in neighboring College Station, Texas. We
liked the functionality, flexibility, and ease-of-use of the system. We went
live on March 9, 2005 and are pleased with both the dispatch response times and
the end-user interface. Geac personnel have been attentive and pro-active
throughout the project."
Geac's EnRoute law enforcement CAD products facilitate quick response to
incoming calls, rapid dispatch of required units and complete documentation of
incidents in a graphical user interface environment. Supporting multiple call
takers and dispatchers, EnRoute enables calls to be dispatched by address,
telephone number, intersection, business name, landmark, call box and alarm
activations. The EnRoute Intranet Status Account (I-STATUS) graphically
displays call information and provides web access to call status details from
the Geac CAD system.
Molly Crews, General Manager of Geac Public Safety, stated, "Geac is excited
about how smoothly the dispatchers moved to the new system. EnRoute's
feature-rich applications are designed to maximize the County's existing
standard operating procedure, while increasing dispatcher and management access
to information. This system also provides the County the flexibility required
to operate in its fast-paced environment."
