Wade Trim Helps Van Buren Township Improve E-911 System


The GIS street centerline layer


CLEMIS is a state-of-the-art computer technology used by criminal justice and public safety agencies

Wade Trim recently completed a GIS street centerline layer for Van Buren Township to use in conjunction with their E-911 response system. The centerline street layer was a prerequisite for the Township to join the Courts and Law Enforcement Management Information System (CLEMIS), a technology that allows criminal justice and public safety agencies to share information across jurisdictions. The Township uses CLEMIS and its GIS centerline layer to record the locations of E-911 calls, crimes, fires and other emergency situations. Mapping these locations allows public safety personnel to quickly and efficiently deploy their resources, ultimately saving time, money and lives.

Wayne County’s Department of Technology, the agency responsible for overseeing street centerline updates and quality control, often requires up to six months to complete this task for communities joining CLEMIS. Wade Trim helped the Township complete the project in three weeks.
