Our Analysts' that monitor the State & Local Public Safety market could not be more busy with the influx of activity the new year has brought with regard to new projects and opportunities... It is always amazing to see the same Agencies that were dead-set in moving forward with implementations at the end of 2009, did not let the Holidays or the New Year stop their intents to consider their technology procurements, come January!

Accordingly, over the course of the past month, INPUT uncovered several new projects which highlight State's taking on Next Generation 911 (NG9-1-1) and Data Interoperability; while Localities are implementing similar solutions, including Surveillance, Mobile-Data and Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD). A sample of these projects are listed here:

• Kansas State Department – Next Generation 911 System
• Georgia Department of Administration – Dispatch / Records Management / Terminals
• Beaumont County, TX – Next Generation 911 System
• Shreveport, LA – Airport Security
• Warren County, KY -- Computer Aided Dispatch & Mobile Data Terminals

These are just a few examples of where Law Enforcement is considering their technology needs for 2010. The truth is, January proved to be one of the busiest months in recent memory for Public Safety research – in the process our Analyst's gained new insights into over 45 new Pre-RFP's Opportunities occurring across the United States – and as such we strongly encourage our Members to take advantage of establishing their keyword searches and Alerts to make sure they don't miss this flood of new business. For February were looking to add EVEN MORE to our Public Safety reporting and Opportunity databases, and we certainly look forward to your feedback, as we take on this process!
