The City of Berkeley, California has chosen Federal Engineering, Inc. (FE) to analyze the staffing, infrastructure, and technology needs of the Berkeley 9-1-1 Communication Center and create a project plan to implement an accredited, prioritized emergency medical dispatch system.

Mr. Ronald F. Bosco, President & CEO of Federal Engineering said: “We appreciate the confidence Berkeley has in our firm for this important project and are pleased that another jurisdiction in California has selected Federal Engineering. The City of Berkeley provides 24/7 dispatch services for police, fire, and emergency medical service (EMS). In order to better distribute responder resources and facilitate more efficient responses, the City has engaged FE to assist in transitioning to a prioritized fire, medical, and behavioral health dispatch system. More specifically, we will perform a needs assessment based on trending call volumes of the dispatch center, identify products/solutions that are the best fit for the Berkeley, propose any structural changes that are necessary in the dispatch center, and deliver an implementation project plan.”
