As part of their Visioning Exercises 2008, APCO is hosting the event "A Look To the Future: The Vision for Public Safety Communications Capabilities." InterAct Public Safety Systems is sponsoring this important event that will look to set standards into the future of public safety.

Winston Salem, NC -- April 21, 2008 -- InterAct Public Safety Systems, a leading provider of public safety and homeland security technology used by local, state, national and international government agencies, is sponsoring a Visioning Exercise 2008 hosted by the Association of Public-Safety Communication Officials (APCO) International. The exercise is titled, "A Look To the Future: The Vision for Public Safety Communications Capabilities."

This half-day event, hosted in Miami, FL, will bring together public-safety industry leaders to discuss how advanced communication technology is affecting public safety agencies. This effort will subsequently produce draft standards for public safety technology to keep up with communication needs. A report will then be developed and presented at the APCO Annual Conference and Exposition August 4-6, 2008 in Kansas City, MO.

"InterAct knows the importance of keeping up to date with new and changing technologies," said Mark Fetherolf, executive vice president of and chief technology officer for InterAct. "By sponsoring this much needed event, we hope that these standards for development are set. InterAct is committed to being at the forefront of developing next generation public safety technology to keep up with ever changing communication technology."
