Case Study: Washington Parish Louisiana Communications District helps locate lost hiker with GeoComm Dispatch Map

Washington Parish Louisiana Communications District locates lost hiker in minutes with GeoComm Dispatch Map

The Washington Parish Louisiana Communications District sought to provide accurate and current 9-1-1 equipment for its emergency communications center. To meet this challenge, it selected GeoComm and implemented the vendor's Dispatch Map system.

GeoComm's solution provided dispatchers with a precise map to locate 9-1-1 callers. This capability was demonstrated when a dispatcher used the GeoComm Dispatch Map to successfully guide a lost hiker and direct responding emergency personnel to his location in a state park, resulting in a safe rescue. The system's effectiveness is enhanced as all local park trails have been named and loaded into the map for future readiness.
