An industry-driven effort
ASAP, formerly known as ASAP to PSAP, was created to make digital dispatch of alarm events to emergency communications centers faster and more accurate.
Designed by two of the leading organizations in the public safety and alarm industry, as it was first launched in 2011 as a public-private partnership between the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) and The Monitoring Association (TMA).
This partnership made ASAP the only industry-created digital alarm service, designed by industry professionals with a deep understand of what emergency communications centers require.
- Reduction of 10-digit administrative phone call volume from alarm companies by providing information directly into the ECC's CAD System
- Reduces processing time from minutes to seconds, leading to faster responses to emergencies and increased positive outcomes
- Eliminates errors and miscommunications during the transcription from voice calls.
- Decreases stress on ECC call-taking personnel by reduced call volumes.
Average time savings per alarm - 2 minutes after point of contact
