STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Mission Critical Partners was awarded a three-year contract to support the state of Maryland’s effort to aggregate, validate, and disseminate geographic information system (GIS) data in the state’s multi-emergency services IP network (ESInet) environment. MCP will ensure the GIS data aligns with industry standards and best practices and is seamless across Maryland’s next-generation 911 (NG911) environment. 

The effort is being led by the Maryland 911 Board and the Maryland Geographic Information Office (GIO), which are working with the 24 emergency communications centers (ECCs) that exist across the state. MCP’s contract award continues an engagement that began four years ago.
