State of 9-1-1 Report
Statute requires that the Colorado Public Utilities Commission update the legislature annually on the state of 9-1-1 services in Colorado, touching on seven different topic areas, at a minimum:
(a) The commission’s actions related to 911 service in the state during the previous year as well as planned implementation actions related to 911 service for the upcoming year;
(b) The current statewide structure, technology, and general operations of 911 service in Colorado;
(c) 911 network reliability and resiliency;
(d) Identified gaps, vulnerabilities, and needs related to 911 service in the state;
(e) The impact on and involvement of the state in federal activities and national trends affecting 911 service in Colorado;
(f) The state’s planning for, transition to, and implementation of next generation 911, including a projected timeline for full statewide implementation; and
(g) A discussion of 911 funding and fiscal outlook, including current funding sources and whether they are adequate for 911 service in the state, and potential funding mechanisms for the transition to and implementation of next generation 911.
Statute also requires that this report be developed in consultation with PSAPs, 9-1-1 governing bodies, and statewide public safety associations. We need your input! Please see the draft 2021-2022 State of 9-1-1 Report at the link below. (Even though we are now in the 2022-2023 fiscal year, the report covers information from the previous year.)
Suggestion mode is turned on, so you are free to add comments or make suggested changes in redline. The deadline for input is August 26. The Commission is required to transmit the document to the legislature by September 15.
