Spokane Regional Emergency Communications Extends NPSG Partnership for Records System Overhaul
Event summary
- Spokane Regional Emergency Communications (SREC) has signed a new contract with National Public Safety Group (NPSG) to support its Law Enforcement Records Management System (RMS) and Mobile Field Reporting (MFR) replacement project.
- This extends a nearly four-year partnership that began with NPSG’s support of SREC’s Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) project in 2022.
- The RMS replacement project will modernize operations for seven agencies serving Spokane County’s population of over 550,000.
- NPSG will provide Needs Assessment, Procurement, and Project Management services for the RMS selection and implementation process.
The big picture
This extended partnership underscores the growing trend of regional emergency communications centers outsourcing critical software modernization to specialized consultants. The deal highlights the increasing complexity of public safety technology projects, which require deep domain expertise and methodical project management. With 325 agencies across 14 states already in its portfolio, NPSG is positioning itself as a key player in the consolidation of public safety software consulting services.
