Project Title: Schertz Police Department — SCUCISD Point to Point
Goal, Objective, and Priority Action associated with this proposal.
The goal of the City of Schertz in this project is to expand our emergency monitoring capabilities to the
Schertz - Cibolo- Universal City ISD. We currently provide day to day police presence in the form of School
Resource Officers to SCUCISD. We are requesting funding of a point to point system in our dispatch
center to have the capability to monitor the approximately 1500 cameras that the SCUCISD currently has
installed. This point to point system will allow our dispatchers the ability to monitor the cameras that
are currently in use throughout the SCUCISD via monitors and equipment that will be installed in our
dispatch center.
The City of Schertz' objective is to have the ability to monitor these cameras on a day to day basis,
prevent the escalation of situations that may arise and to response quicker to ones that do. These
cameras will also allow us to provide a better response during emergency situations. The equipment
being requested will facilitate these goals.
Stated goals:
• Empower public safety personnel with greater access to knowledge through dispatch camera
monitoring
• Maximize system functionality and interoperability between local and regional fire, EMS and
law enforcement agencies and the SCUCISD
• Improve response times
• Defend the public interest
• Improve operational efficiencies between local and regional fire, EMS and law enforcement
agencies and the SCUCISD
Describe the project and the activities that will be implemented:
This project is dedicated to improving the current City of Schertz dispatch center to provide efficiency,
effectiveness and to be multi - dimensional responses. We are attempting to add the ability to monitor
the cameras that are currently installed throughout the SCUCISD by implementing monitors in the
dispatch center that will be connected using a point to point system with the SCUCISD camera system.
Outcome: The dispatch center will meet our increased need for technology improvements between the
city of Schertz and the SCUCISD. This technology will provide efficiency quickly routing calls, reporting
accurate call incident locations, and determining best route scenarios. Effectively fighting crime requires
geographic, spatial, or local focus of mapping techniques into management, analysis and enforcement
practices.
