Earlier this week, Borough of Glassboro, N.J., Mayor Leo McCabe and the bourough council passed a resolution to apply to a New Jersey pilot program to install cameras on local traffic lights.

If Glassboro is selected under the new pilot program run by the state, a total of 21 cameras will be installed at six major intersections to record red light violations including illegal right turns and running a red light. The resolution also indicates that if selected as a pilot program, American Traffic Solutions will run the red-light photo-enforcement program for the Borough.

"Studies and community testimonials prove that these cameras successfully reduce the crashes and injuries caused by red-light runners," said Glassboro Chief of Police Alex J. Fanfarillo. "If ATS can help us save just one life or prevent a serious injury, this program will be a success."

"ATS is excited to partner with Glassboro to build a program that will improve public safety by increasing the awareness of traffic safety in a way that decreases red-light running, related crashes, injuries and fatalities," said James Tuton, ATS president and CEO. "We are confident that the Glassboro program can serve as an exemplary model of improved public safety for communities throughout the Garden State."

Dispatch Operations and
Interoperability Survey

Geographic terrain, an overloaded infrastructure and outdated technologies put into question a jurisdiction's level of optimal interoperability in an emergency situation. Emergency Management would like to understand the problem as it relates to dispatch centers ability to communicate with first responders effectively. Click Here to take the survey

Dispatch Operations and Interoperability

Case Study - Morris County, New Jersey The Morris County Communications Center upgraded to a new trunked radio system with the benefits of a cellular network, extending coverage beyond county lines


Case Study - Iredell County, North Carolina Spanning over 570 sq miles, it became imperative that the Iredell County Emergency Communications, Operations and Management extend it's communications systems to enhance reliability, security, and coverage.


Case Study - City of Anaheim, California The City of Anaheim saw an opportunity to leverage existing GST and partner with nearby cities to enhance safety operations through data interoperability.


Case Study - Charlottesville, Virginia Fire Department Taking advantage of a range of interoperability solution, the Charlottesville Fire Department has achieved a network that can serve as backup to their existing public safety network.


Optimal Interoperability Until recently it was not possible to cost effectively connect commercial networks to LMR systems. Improvements in communications technology have resulted in greatly enhanced operational capability and have reduced the log-term cost of communications system ownership.


Sprint ERT Go-Kit with GST Optima Rapid, interoperable communications for emergencies, drills and field exercises.
