911 CAD Computerized Dispatch System RFP Receipt

Tippecanoe County has received proposals from six vendors for a new 911 CAD computerized dispatch system, following an RFP published in July 2026. This procurement process is critical for enhancing public safety, as the system will manage data collection for 911 calls and assist in dispatching emergency services. During the recent county commissioners' meeting, it was confirmed that the proposals were due on September 14, 2026, and the county agencies, including police, fire, and EMS, are now screening the submissions. The Gardner Group, hired earlier this year, has been facilitating this process, indicating a well-structured approach to selecting a vendor. The meeting excerpt highlights the urgency and importance of this project: “5:12 Uh, next up is uh receipt of request for proposals for a 911 CAD computerated dispatch system.
