Abstract
 Public Safety Enterprise GIS: Maximizing the Return on Investment Track: Disaster Mangagement and Emergency Response Author(s): Scott Burton In 2002, under the leadership of Sheriff Ken Jenne, BSO was "re-introduced" to GIS technology by establishing an Enterprise GIS that integrated mapping technology into the agency's law enforcement business processes. To further that challenge, in September 2003, the Broward County Fire Rescue was merged under the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO). This merger marks the first time in United States history that a fire rescue department and a sheriff's office have merged. The arrangement establishes the Broward Sheriff's Office as a "full service" public service agency. This presentation will unveil the strategies and applications being developed to meet the ever-increasing public safety demands from both law enforcement and fire-rescue--ranging from Mobile GIS for Critical Response/Homeland Security/E911 Dispatch/Disaster Response, Web-based mapping applications for Felony Warrant tracking, customized querying tools for Fire-Rescue and Crime Analyses, 3-D visualization of Public Safety Facilities, Plume Modeling for Disaster-Response, and much more.
