RE: ASAP to PSAP August 10, 2024 Dear Colleagues of the Oakland City Council, The Office of the Mayor, The City of Oakland Department Staff, and members of the public: The Public Safety and Services Oversight Commission (SSOC) oversees the proper administration of revenue collection, spending, and implementation of the programs funded through Measure Z: The 2014 Oakland Public Safety and Services Violence Prevention Act revenue. The SSOC, through the At-Large City Council Office, is presenting an informational presentation on the Automated Secure Alarm Protocol to Public-Safety Answering Point service (also known as “ASAP to PSAP”), software designed to electronically deliver notifications of commercially monitored alarms to PSAP computer-aided dispatch systems. The presentation provides an overview of ASAP to PSAP (the Program) and the potential impact of integrating the Program within Oakland’s emergency automated response system. It is important to note that this presentation does not trigger the Program's adoption. The At-Large Office is proud to share and inform the public of new technologies and methods that have the potential to better Oaklanders' lives. This presentation continues to fulfill the commitment of Measure Z requirements. As the Public Safety Committee Chair, I am eager to usher in this presentation, which will be given by members of the SSOC and experts in automated emergency response systems. Sincerely, Rebecca Kaplan City of Oakland, Council Member At-Large
