Proposed State Public Safety Agency Merger
The Office of Homeland Security, the State Emergency
Management Office, the State 911 Board, the Office of Cyber
Security and Critical Infrastructure Coordination, and the
Office of Fire Prevention and Control will merge into a
single State agency to provide greater support to local
first responders and improve coordination of a wide array of
State and Federal grant programs. The essential missions of
these organizations would not only continue, but would be
enhanced within the new organization, while also achieving
savings of $1.5 million. In addition, the new organization
would be responsible for advancing the vision for a
county-driven statewide interoperable communication system
to be used by all first responders, including State public
safety staff. The agency would offer grants totaling up to
$50 million next year to assist counties in developing
communications networks and consolidating dispatch centers.
The grants would be funded from cellular surcharge revenues
that were formerly intended to finance the Statewide
Wireless Network Project – the same source that would
provide support for a portion of the operations of the new
agency. In addition, the State would invest $42 million in
bonded capital over five years to expand the State
Preparedness Training Center at Oriskany into a statewide
training center for first responders. (2010-11 Savings: $17
million; 2011-12 Savings: $17 million)
