3 ASAP Video CSAA ASAP Video Link: csaaintl.org/asap Alternate Link: ASAP is an American National Standard The Birth of an American National Standard Original ANS Name: APCO/CSAA ANS Alarm Monitoring Company to PSAP CAD External Alarm Interface Exchange {Adopted January 15, 2009} Renewed ANS Name: ANSI/APCO/CSAA APCO / CSAA Standard (ANS) for Alarm Monitoring Company to PSAP CAD Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP) {Renewed August 5, 2014} Standards-Based XML Converted from Custom Template to GJXDM then to NIEM 3
4 By The Numbers PSAPs 6,500 primary & secondary Police/Fire/Med Agencies 20,000+ Central Station Dispatches 22,800,000 annually 1 PSAPs Call Volume 250,000,000 annually 1 Source: Security Industry Alarm Coalition ASAP - Purpose To provide a standard data exchange for electronically transmitting information between an Alarm Monitoring Company and a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). Generic Explanation: The exchange replaces the telephone calls between the Alarm Monitoring Company operator and the 911 PSAP call-taker. 4
5 Three Primary Uses How ASAP Works Initial Notification of New Alarm Event Central Station initiates notification of new alarm event Central Station Incident Number Sent to PSAP How ASAP Works Three Primary Uses PSAP s Response & Acknowledgement Acknowledgement by PSAP that notification has been Accepted or Rejected PSAP Incident Number Returned to Alarm Company 5
6 How ASAP Works Three Primary Uses Bi-Directional Status & Response Updates Updates from Alarm Company Key-holder information Request to cancel dispatch Response to PSAP questions Updates from the PSAP Resources dispatched Resources arrived on scene Call closure with disposition Request for information Goal #1 ASAP Goals Alarm Monitoring Company Eliminate the telephone calls between the Alarm Monitoring Company and the PSAP Public Safety PSAP Telephone Call Volume From Alarm Companies 6
7 Goal #2 ASAP Goals I can t understand you. How do you spell that street? I can t hear you, call back. Eliminate miscommunication between the Alarm Monitoring Company operators and the PSAP call-takers Mistakes & Miscommunication ASAP Goals Goal #3 Decrease processing & response times to alarm-related calls-forservice with an increase in law enforcement apprehensions made, fires more quickly extinguished, and lives saved. Processing & Response Times 7
8 Comparative Analysis Traditional Delivery Versus Use of ASAP Without ASAP: Delivery via Telephone Telephone Alarm Co Gather Call Processes Ringing Information Dispatch Units 1 ½ - 3 minutes or more With ASAP.. Alarm Co No Process No Gathering Phone Processes Information Data Call Dispatch Units 15 seconds or less Outcomes at the City of Richmond VA Richmond s Experiences 47,000+ total alarm exchanges transmitted: No telephone call; No call-taker involvement No Spelling mistakes; no accidental transposition of street address numbers No low volume headset issues; No need to try to interpret accents Works efficiently regardless of how inundated call takers may be August, 2011: Virginia earthquake & Hurricane Irene: BAU for alarm companies using ASAP Was 1½ min - average process time w/o repetition up to 3 min (sometimes more) process time for some alarm calls Alarm operators sometimes placed on hold for 8 10 minutes The worst call in the PSAP Now 15 sec or less -average turnaround time via the interface The most accurate and concise call in the PSAP 8
9 Outcomes in Houston, TX Houston s Experience Since April 28, 2011 Demographics 634 square miles (10 times larger than Richmond, Va) 2.3 million people (4th most populous city in the U.S.) 4th largest PSAP in the United States Houston has and a non-emergency number CY Houston Emergency center received over 3.3 million calls for service o 2.8 million were 911 o 800,000 were non emergency calls o 300,000 were handled by Interactive Voice Response Outcomes in Houston, TX In CY 2015 Houston Emergency Center created 155,000 alarm calls Only 16% (24,600) of alarm calls were dispatched by ASAP Over 84% (131,000) of alarm calls were initiated via telephone Non ASAP dispatched alarms come through the non-emergency number. Each alarm call typically requires at least 2.5 phone calls to process from start to finish. Non ASAP created alarms required at least 330,000 plus phone calls last year to process. The 330,000 plus non ASAP dispatched calls represents 40% of the 800,000 non emergency phone calls to the Houston Emergency Center. The HEC s non emergency line is typically staffed with 8 call takers 24/7. With the recent addition of ADT in March, ASAP is currently processing 150 alarm calls a day (55,000 a year), eliminating 140,000 phone calls to HEC Out of tens of thousands ASAP alarm call events Hard savings realized to-date is about $400,000 Addition of ADT & other big players expected to save $1 million 9
10 Houston Emergency Center Outcomes in Washington DC Office of Unified Communications receives 50,000 call-in alarms annually from central station monitoring companies, resulting in: Two-minute average processing time for each alarm Three telephone calls Reduction in available phone lines & call-takers ASAP results: 32,417 total alarm notifications since October,2012 Burglar (85.64%); Fire (10.51%); Medical (2.05%); Holdup/Panic(1.80%) # of Alarms Sent Through the ASAP Interface to Washington's Office of Unified Communications Alarm Volumes * 2016 (Projected) # of Alarms *ADT Began Participation with the OUC on December 1,
