In the post 9/11 world, concerns over homeland security at heavily attended events are becoming as important as concerns over mundane traffic, crowd, and beverage control. As the lead agency for the Parade, DPD assembled a multidisciplinary multi-jurisdictional taskforce comprising DPD personnel, Texas Alcoholic Beverage Control Enforcement Agents, Dallas Fire-Rescue EMTs, among others. Members of the command staff “redrew” their operational plans from paper maps to interactive MTCS workspaces and assigned AdvanTraq™ GPS units to various Sergeants and Medic teams. The GPS-integrated MTCS workspaces were used to communicate, collaborate, coordinate, command and control with members of the distributed taskforce in real-time.
"The great weather conditions brought a record number of Dallas
residents and visitors to this year's St Patrick's Day Parade", said
Deputy Chief Vincent Golbeck, Central Patrol Division, Dallas Police
Department. " MTCS provided a force-multiplier effect that enabled
our Special Events command staff to gain topsight and real-time
situational awareness over our dismounted officers in the crowd. The
AdvanTraq GPS” he continued, “played a critical officer safety role as
it enabled officers and commanders to know precisely where units were
deployed dynamically, while providing officers an SOS alert capability
if needed.”

About Mobile Tactical Collaboration System™ (MTCS) & AdvanTraq™ GPS
Developed using industry standard Web 2.0-based technologies, MTCS is the flagship product of Ordia Solutions and represents the next generation of mission-critical, tactically-focused, easy-to-use, intuitive, and web-based collaborative command and control solutions for public safety. Because a picture is worth a thousand words, MTCS enhances public safety officers’ ability to communicate and collaborate visually and in real-time using tactical graphics, digital maps, and shared workspaces. It facilitates the rapid sketching and development of multiple pre-planned scenarios, one or more of which can be executed based on real-time contingencies and at the discretion of commanders and other senior leadership. The MTCS platform addresses the "5Cs of Interoperability" for tactical commanders, operators and other first responders - communication, collaboration, coordination, command and control. This level of interoperability is a must for critical incidents requiring multi-jurisdictional and multidisciplinary response, and for the related real-world exercises necessary to sharpen the tactical proficiencies of commanders and operators. As a network-based application, MTCS provides access to authorized, geographically dispersed team members to interact and collaborate in the same “virtual” command post, using mobile data terminals or ultra mobile handheld PCs connected via secure wireless broadband, or other PCs connected to the secure network. Microsoft® Virtual Earth™ is the standard mapping imagery delivered with MTCS and customer-specific imagery can be incorporated.
AdvanTraq™ GPS is a portfolio of advanced tracking solutions for personnel, vehicle, K9, and cargo that operates as standalone solutions or integrated with and traceable through a Mobile Tactical Collaboration System™ workspace. Integrated, AdvanTraq GPS and MTCS provide tactical commanders and other senior leadership an unprecedented level of real-time situational awareness of an executing operation and its operators, significantly increasing operator safety and accountability. AdvanTraq™ GPS employs GPS tracking technologies from GLC Enterprises of Naperville IL. The versatility of the MTCS platform enables it to be used by law enforcement, Fire/EMS, Search and Rescue, and EOC personnel in a variety of command and control scenarios. These include perimeter and border security; port and coastal security; critical infrastructure protection; dignitary transport and protection; timely, coordinated, and effective tactical response to campus security incidents; SWAT operations; major sporting event security coordination; man-made or environmental disaster security response; multi-alarm and wildland fire suppression coordination; real-world preparedness training and exercises; post-incident analysis; and many other more routine public safety activities.
