State of Michigan, Michigan’s Public Safety Communication System

If you have the passion for public safety and want to be part of one of the nation’s best teams, you can be part of the state of Michigan team that provides state, local, federal, tribal and private first responders (law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, 911, Emergency Management and many others)  with dependable emergency communication resources that cover the state. The Office of Michigan’s Public Safety Communications System (MPSCS) has a focused mission of providing statewide public safety communications for more than 2200 state, local, federal, tribal and private public safety agencies. Through our employees, MPSCS handles the second-largest trunked communication system in the world with more than 300 tower sites, over 90 state and local public safety dispatch centers with more than 550 radio dispatch consoles and 82 Computer Aided Dispatch consoles, over 130,000 radios and more than 9,000 fire pagers. The MPSCS Network Communication Center (NCC) monitors systems operations 24 hours a day to ensure the system is ready to assist Michigan’s first responders.
 
The function of any public safety communications system is to assure the rapid response and cooperation of emergency personnel. The MPSCS achieves this through reliable, easy-to-use statewide coverage and advanced technology. The ability to share information on demand and in real time, whether it is voice or data, is critical to public safety in Michigan.
