BACKGROUND:
The City of Pueblo’s 911 Communications Center serves as the sole Public Safety Answering
Point (PSAP) for the City of Pueblo and its citizens. Communication between the 911
professionals and citizens in need is accomplished through the Enhanced 911 (E911) telephone
system. Communication between the 911 professionals and first responders is accomplished
through integration with the State of Colorado’s 800 MHz Digital Trunking Radio System (DTRS)
via the MCC7500 radio operator positions currently installed in the Communications Center. The
Motorola MCC7500 is a mission critical Internet Protocol (IP) high-tier radio dispatch console
system that offers seamless connectivity between the Emergency Services Dispatchers and first
responders in the field. The City’s 911 Center currently operates with six (6) MCC7500 radio
operator positions. Expansion will provide staffing flexibility within the Center to better address
the continued increase in the volume of phone calls and calls for service experienced by the City
of Pueblo’s public safety agencies, including the Pueblo Police Department and the Pueblo Fire
Department.
