Still Have Questions?
Here are some answers to the most commonly asked questions.
What is critical incident mapping data and how does it work?
Critical incident mapping data, which we often refer to as Collaborative Response Graphics® (CRGs), combine a gridded reference system, high-resolution imagery, floor plans, and critical features to create accurate and real-life depictions of facilities and their surroundings. By providing law enforcement and first responders with crucial information, they enhance response time and help navigate the scene efficiently.
What criteria must critical incident mapping data meet according to Wisconsin Act 109?
According to 2021 Wisconsin Act 109, critical incident mapping data must meet the following criteria:
- Compatible with platforms and applications used by local, state, and federal public safety officials
- It must not require the purchase of additional software
- Include information that can best assist first responders in an emergency, such as building numbers, floors, suite designations, room numbers, or other available relevant location information
Who benefits from critical incident mapping data?
Critical incident mapping data benefits both law enforcement and educational institutions. For law enforcement, critical incident mapping data enables coordination and collaboration, resulting in faster response times and decisive actions during crises. Educational institutions can enhance their emergency preparedness with critical incident mapping data, ensuring efficient action plans and minimizing response time.
Who is eligible for the School Safety Grant in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin Act 109 created the school safety grant that requires every school district and private school governing body in Wisconsin to submit school blueprints to the local law enforcement agency. The purpose of the grant is to provide digital mapping to local, county, state, and federal first responders, allowing them to enhance security and increase situational awareness. The Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of School Safety (OSS) has replenished 2021 Wisconsin Act 109 digital mapping grant funds, with an additional $1,528,341.03 allocated to address the unmet need and invites applications from Wisconsin public, private, charter, and tribal schools interested in obtaining digital mapping data.
Do you have successful case studies of critical incident mapping data implementation?
Yes, there have been successful case studies in various states and districts. For example, Delaware and New Jersey had all of their public and private schools mapped and Virginia has had over 90% of their schools mapped by Critical Response Group.
