Partnership supports modernization of alarm-to-911 data exchange through new API integration

MCLEAN, Va., June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Monitoring Association (TMA) announced that Motorola Solutions has been named a Platinum Communications Partner in support of the Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP), recognizing the company’s leadership in improving the public safety ecosystem, telecommunicator wellness and modernizing digital alarm communication between monitoring centers and public safety agencies.

As one of the largest providers of computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems, Motorola Solutions encourages ASAP adoption among emergency communications centers (ECCs) and works to provide connectivity to ASAP Service within its CAD solutions.

In 2025, Motorola Solutions introduced a cloud-based capability to simplify integrating ASAP alarm data into emergency communications workflows. The company recently expanded this capability across its command center software portfolio, including CommandCentral Aware, PremierOne and Flex, to promote seamless ASAP connectivity for its customers. This integration helps public safety agencies deploy the service more quickly and with fewer technical barriers. For ECCs already using Motorola Solutions CAD systems, enabling ASAP becomes a natural extension of their existing infrastructure to help reduce deployment time and cost.

“Seconds can make all the difference in an emergency,” said Todd Piett, senior vice president, Command Center and Cloud Solutions, Motorola Solutions. “By creating a direct digital connection between alarm companies and 911 dispatch software through the ASAP Service, we can help keep emergency lines open for those in need while reducing manual coordination for dispatchers.”

The ASAP AWS GovCloud capabilities provide ECCs with a streamlined, secure, resilient and standards-based method to receive alarm data directly into their CAD workflows. For the ECC, this eliminates manual call handling and reduces call-processing times and transcription errors. The result is better-informed responses, faster dispatch times, enhanced situational awareness for field responders and reduced workflow for telecommunicators for them to focus on higher-priority incidents.

A recent deployment in St. Joseph County, Ind. demonstrates that impact in practice. As the first in the nation to deploy the cloud-based alarm integration, the St. Joseph County 911 Consolidated Communications Center is on pace to save the county’s telecommunicators 350 hours a year that would otherwise have been spent on the phone, helping them keep 911 lines clear for the community’s most time-sensitive emergencies.

“Working with Motorola Solutions CAD systems enables us to meet agencies where they already are — within their existing CAD environments,” said Karen Carlson, vice president and general manager of ASAP Service. “By integrating directly into the tools ECCs use every day, we make it easier for agencies to adopt ASAP and begin seeing meaningful improvements in call handling and response efficiency.”

Motorola Solutions is also actively working with its ECC customers to promote and deploy the ASAP service. The company maintains ongoing collaboration with TMA through regular working sessions to review deployment progress and support the program’s continued expansion. This level of engagement and operational coordination reflects the commitment recognized by TMA’s Platinum Partner designation.

WASHINGTON, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — National Press Club President Mark Schoeff Jr. issued the following statement today:

“The decision to subpoena journalists and seek to compel their testimony before a grand jury represents one of the most aggressive actions against a free and independent press in recent memory.

Reporters were one step away from being forced to participate in a criminal investigation because they were doing their jobs. That should alarm every American who values a free press.

Although the administration withdrew the subpoenas, it owes the public a clear explanation for why they were drafted in the first place. Doing so sends a threatening message to journalists and sources that can linger long after the paperwork is gone.

The issuance of the subpoenas raises profound questions about how such an extraordinary step was approved, who authorized it and why federal prosecutors believed compelling journalists to testify was appropriate in the first place.

Journalists cannot effectively serve the public if sources believe reporters may be forced into the role of government witnesses. Even the threat of compelled testimony can chill reporting, deter whistleblowers and make it harder for the public to learn information that powerful institutions would prefer remain hidden.”
