What Is a 911 Dispatch Console
A 911 dispatch console is a dedicated workstation used in Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). These consoles support emergency call handling, radio communications, and incident management. In addition, each console integrates communication equipment, computer systems, and ergonomic work surfaces to help dispatchers respond quickly and accurately.
Fountainhead engineers its dispatch consoles to meet the specific operational needs of police departments, fire and EMS services, and municipal emergency operations.
