Montco Public Safety Incidents Site Down Due to 911 Dispatch Upgrades

The WebCAD Active Incidents website from the Montgomery County Department of Public Safety (DPS) may not be updating itself with active fire, EMS and traffic incidents while the department upgrades equipment on their county 911 dispatch system.

Because of upgrades being made to their 911 dispatch system, the connection between the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), which populates the website, and the website itself, will not be functional until everything is sorted out, according to Tim Elbertson, a DPS Community Outreach Coordinator.

There is no specific timeframe for when the website will again repopulate itself with current incidents. “Our main priority is to make sure that the 911 dispatch system is running,” Elbertson said.
