ASAP Saves Time, Improves Accuracy, and Increases Efficiency between ECCs and Monitoring Centers

The Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP) is a national service that is the next generation for the processing of information from alarm monitoring stations needing emergency dispatch. This protocol was founded through the joint partnership of APCO, TMA and NLETS – receiving government recognition and funding since 2010.

What is ASAP?
The Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP), launched in 2011 as a public-private partnership, is designed to increase the efficiency and reliability of emergency electronic signals from monitoring companies to PSAPs (Now referred to as ECCs). ASAP utilizes ANSI standard protocols developed cooperatively by the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) and The Monitoring Association. With ASAP, critical life safety signals and accurate information are processed in seconds, not minutes, through the Nlets system of state-to-state PSAP/ECC communication, insuring that complete and accurate information is transmitted to the PSAP/ECC every time.

For more information please contact Bryan Ginn, phone: 703-242-4670 x19 or  you can fill out the Complete Contact Request Form (preferred).
