What is the ASAP Service?
• The ASAP to the PSAP Service is a system designed to deliver notifications of commercially monitored alarms to PSAP CAD Systems electronically– Eliminates the Alarm Phone Call!

• The Monitoring Association (TMA) – This is the industry trade association that represent the monitoring center’s interests and positions– They were formerly known as the Central Station
Alarm Association (CSAA) • TMA owns, operates and pays for the ASAP to
PSAP Service for the benefit of the alarm industry and its subscribers

ASAP Technical Operations
• TMA contracted with CommSys to– Get ASAP Implemented– Engineer the ASAP technical infrastructure– Manage CJIS Security policy compliance– Help with dealing with CAD vendors
• Ultimately we were tasked with the technical operations of the ASAP to PSAP Service

Why is ASAP Important?
![Page 6: ASAP to PSAP Service Introduction - Michigan · 22,800,000 calls annually 1 that result in dispatches – 15,000 to Richmond, VA’s 9- 1-1 PSAP ... – Images/Video • PSAP manager’s](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050315/5f778543a59ade7440238730/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Call Volumes• Alarm Monitoring Centers handle
22,800,000 calls annually1 that result in dispatches– 15,000 to Richmond, VA’s 9-1-1
PSAP– 150,000 to the Houston
Emergency Center
• PSAP Call Volume 250,000,000 annually (2010)
• Roughly 10% of all Calls for Service come from alarms
Alarm based calls for service are significant to PSAPs1 Source: Security Industry Alarm Coalition - 2010 Data

Alarm Call Handling Realities
• If the address is correct, the interaction between Monitoring Center operators and PSAP Call Takers has no value add– Information presented tends to be “cut and dry” – no
interpretation necessary– It is TRANSCRIPTION!
• If the address is wrong, then it isn’t transcription!
![Page 8: ASAP to PSAP Service Introduction - Michigan · 22,800,000 calls annually 1 that result in dispatches – 15,000 to Richmond, VA’s 9- 1-1 PSAP ... – Images/Video • PSAP manager’s](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050315/5f778543a59ade7440238730/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ASAP Benefits
Three core benefits:
1. Faster transfer of alarm information to PSAPs2. More accurate transfer of information3. Faster response by public safety
• These all lead to improvements for public, PSAPs, and the Alarm Industry

4/18/2019
ASAP Speeds CAD Call Processing
• ASAP achieves this by– Standardizing the Alarm Event Types (Motion, Pull Station,
Smoke)– Pre-validation of all alarm panel addresses– Requiring the CAD system make the automated
determination on accepting or rejecting the call
• Only Failures result in a traditional phone call from central to PSAP
• Calls are created in CAD and routed to correct Dispatch position
![Page 10: ASAP to PSAP Service Introduction - Michigan · 22,800,000 calls annually 1 that result in dispatches – 15,000 to Richmond, VA’s 9- 1-1 PSAP ... – Images/Video • PSAP manager’s](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050315/5f778543a59ade7440238730/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Reducing Workload
• With ASAP, the “call taking” phase is outsourced to central stations for alarm call types– Gets the human out of the transcription step– ASAP is really a specialized CAD-to-CAD Interface
• Structures the interaction between alarm monitoring center and the PSAP– All the data exchanged is “machine readable” which means
no need to transcribe recordings• Most importantly, it leverages the PSAP’s investment in
your CAD system

4/18/2019
What ASAP is Not
• ASAP doesn’t eliminate the need for the alarm monitoring center– Nor is it a significant cost savings for the central
stations – once you factor the cost of ASAP– Alarm companies are still doing 80% of what they
already do traditionally • False Alarm Suppression• Enhanced Call Verification etc.• Maintaining the human presence
• ASAP only replaces the phone call to the PSAP

NG911 vs ASAP
• NG911 adds new modalities to PSAPs call taking– Text Messages– Images/Video
• PSAP manager’s are looking at workload increases for call taking – NG911 is about call taking
• ASAP is one capability that reduces call taking workload– ASAP allows call taking to focus on the public where they
are needed

PSAP Operational Costs for ASAP
• There are no direct charges for a PSAP to use the ASAP Service– However there will be indirect charges that the
PSAP may have to manage• More on this later
• The central stations using ASAP share the cost of supporting the service
![Page 15: ASAP to PSAP Service Introduction - Michigan · 22,800,000 calls annually 1 that result in dispatches – 15,000 to Richmond, VA’s 9- 1-1 PSAP ... – Images/Video • PSAP manager’s](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050315/5f778543a59ade7440238730/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Participating Monitoring Centers
23 Companies On-line• Vector Security• United Central Control• Rapid Response• Brinks• ADT/Protection 1• Guardian Protection• JCI/Tyco IS/Simplex-Grinnell
Big Picture• 9 of the 10 largest central
stations (SDM 100 List) have signed up for ASAP

Traffic Control
• PSAPs control what alarm companies send them traffic– That tool is the Traffic Authorization Letter (TAL)– It is a standardized letter from the PSAP to the
ASAP Service to allow traffic to flow
• We configure the ASAP Message Broker to allow traffic to flow

Confidential Information of the CSAA
ASAP to PSAP Service
• The ASAP Service is a transport service for ANSI Alarm Exchange messages– via Nlets and the State CJIS systems to local CAD
Systems (TMA became a Nlets strategic partner)– TMA built a system (ASAP Message Broker) to
communicate between the CJIS networks and the alarm companies
• Nlets assigned the ALQ/ALR message keys for transporting ASAP Messages

ASAP to PSAP Service
• The ASAP Service is independent of your CAD provider– You are only purchasing software to allow your
CAD to function with the ASAP Service– They are not certified to train your agency to use
the service
• TMA administers and operates the ASAP Service

PSAP Connection Process
1. Provide the following to The Monitoring Association:– Submit Initiation Letter– Provide Technical Information on CAD system
2. Contact CJIS Agency to notify – obtain ORI for ASAP3. Contract with Implementation Consultant4. Upgrade CAD to support ASAP5. Begin process with Implementation Consultant and
TMA

Implementation Timeline
• Implementation Process is typically 60 days– Once the CAD vendor completes CAD upgrade
until the first Alarm delivered– Getting the CAD ready is the biggest hurdle– Resolving addressing issues with the alarm
company is initially time consuming• Consultant should assist with this process
