Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS) is helping the California Highway Patrol (CHP) improve emergency response time and officer safety with the implementation of a state-of-the-art computer-aided dispatch (CAD) solution. ACS is providing the system under a contract with a potential nine-year term, consisting of a five-year base and four one-year options, and is valued at $53 million if all options are exercised.

The CAD solution will provide dispatchers with accurate, real-time information to assign incidents to the appropriate first responder and enhance communications between CHP and other public safety agencies. ACS will provide CHP with software, hardware, systems integration, and training and maintenance services.

“ACS’ solution will help CHP improve emergency communications, coordination and resource utilization, and ensure scalability for growth, said Joseph Doherty, executive vice president and group president, ACS Government Solutions. “This is another example of ACS’ ability to deliver solutions critical to helping agencies provide better service.”

ACS has partnered with TriTech Systems of San Diego to provide the system to CHP, which will support approximately 7,300 uniformed and 3,200 civilian personnel, including more than one-thousand 911 call-takers and dispatchers. Implementation of the solution is expected in January 2012.

ACS Solutions for Public Safety and Justice also include FireHouse® records and mobile systems for state and local agencies’ fire and EMS applications, and AgileCourt® court management solutions in support of criminal justice systems nationwide.
