With a population of well over 85,000 people and located just 25 miles from midtown Manhattan, the Town of Clarkstown, New York has been ranked the second safest place to live among 300 communities with populations topping 75,000 people. (Morgan Quitno Press).
In the wake of the 9-11 attack, the Town Board determined there was a need to evaluate the efficiency, current response technologies, security, and safety of their existing 1980's era Emergency Communications Center, and create a state of the art facility.
The role of the 911 Police Communications Center is to coordinate the response of a variety of municipal services including State, County, and Local Departments of Transportation, local utilities, Fire Inspector, and Building Inspector. The ""community service oriented"" Police Department directs all community needs to the proper resources. In addition, the 911 Police Communications Center is in direct contact with Federal, State, and Local Law Enforcement Agencies to coordinate with and direct any contingency.
Working closely with the Clarkstown design committee, DCAK-MSA Architecture designed a state of the art 911 Police Communications Center. This design includes:
