This achievement reinforces SmartCOP’s commitment to providing seamless and reliable emergency response tools for dispatch centers and public safety agencies nationwide.

What Gold Certification Means for Dispatch Operations

The Gold Certification signifies that SmartCOP’s SmartCAD interface, in conjunction with Smart Horizons’ Premier Responder, has met the highest standards for compatibility, efficiency, and performance. Premier Responder is a next-generation emergency dispatch platform designed to support dispatchers with locally developed and approved response protocols for fire, EMS, and law enforcement calls. It also allows supervisors to conduct real-time quality assurance monitoring.

“We are very impressed with SmartCOP, their effort to obtain Gold Certification shows a strong commitment to interoperability and customer success,” said Nikia Anderson, Smart Horizons Public Safety Software Director. “Their willingness to collaborate with us demonstrates a shared dedication to excellence in public safety software.”

How the SmartCAD and Premier Responder Integration Works

With this certified integration, dispatchers using SmartCAD gain direct access to Premier Responder features. Key functionalities include:

  • Call Transfer: Dispatchers can create an incident in SmartCAD and immediately send it to Premier Responder.
  • Dynamic Prompts: Depending on the incident type (Fire, EMS, or Law), the system presents appropriate, guided questions to the dispatcher.
  • Real-Time Documentation: All questions and answers collected during the call are logged in SmartCAD as call notes.

This simplified workflow improves situational awareness, ensures consistency in emergency responses, and enhances dispatcher accuracy and confidence under pressure.
