Last week, National Alliance for Public Safety GIS (NAPSG) Foundation hosted two user group meetings focused on public safety GIS applications. The two latest User Group meetings were held in Toledo, Ohio, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. These sessions were more like mini-conferences than "just another meeting" and were free all attendees.

Following the successful model of the six Fire Service User Group meetings held in 2009, the Foundation relied on local leadership teams to invite regional GIS/public safety users to fill the meeting rooms. For two days in each location, attendees viewed presentations of successful GIS applications for law enforcement, emergency management, and fire service delivery. In addition to the presentations on successful GIS projects, four training sessions were offered including a hands on demonstration of ESRI's ArcGIS 10 and how to program Adobe's Flex viewer to customize GIS maps for online use.

If you missed the opportunity to attend these sessions, PDF versions of the presentations will soon be available on the Foundation's website.

Coming soon: Dates and places for the 2010 Fire Service User Group meetings will be announced in the next few weeks and will be posted here as soon as the information is available.
