Event Categories - ASAP to PSAP

The PSAP Receives the alarm type from Column “A” and then translates it to event type codes in the computer-aided dispatch system using a translation table. The example shown below is from the City of Richmond to illustrate how arm types are translated.

*The alarm company is responsible for transmitting a valid alarm type from the list of enumerations in column “A”.

**The PSAP converts the alarm type from the alarm company and translates the alarm event type contained in the CAD system using a translation table. The translation is a PSAP decision.
