Agency Chapter Implementation

That's great! You are taking the first step towards supporting an initiative that will drastically strengthen public safety's ability to provide valuable services to our disabled community partners while reducing the risk to our community and public safety officials. To activate your agency's NPS-AID chapter, lets start by completing the below NPS-AID Chapter Implementation Application.

The NPS-AID Implementation Application provides the needed information to begin the process of activating each agency's NPS-AID Chapter – such as the agency name, ORI, number of sworn officers, and the name and contact information for the person who will serve as the agency NPS-AID manager.

The NPS-AID platform is based within the National Law Enforcement and Community Policing Integrated Network (OPS Network) where all government agencies are listed and authorized via their official ORI number. This is required to activate the agency.

Not at all! While full member agencies of the OPS Network are automatically granted access to the NPS-AID, any official governmental law enforcement agency can form an NPS-AID Chapter independent of a full OPS Network partnership.

The chapter fees vary based on agency size (active members), which is usually reflective of the size of the community each agency covers and serves. Either way, the fees are very affordable for any agency. As far as hidden costs – None*! NPS-AID supporting chapter fees cover all the features of the platform. The fees are all inclusive.

A NPS-AID on-boarding member will discuss the procurement options with you. There are many avenues to fund your chapter that range from state contracts, GSA, direct payment and more. Most agencies support the NPS-AID program from their main budget as the fees almost always fall within agency caps for expenditures.

None! The NPS-AID program is 100% no cost for any community partner that joins from across the nation. The entire platform is financially supported by supporting NPS-AID chapter partner agencies.

Yes! NPS-AID is built on the most modern and secure platform available today and can directly connect, via API, to any modern dispatch (CAD and PSAP) platform, creating a seamless connection of critical information. Learn more.

Yes! All public NPS-AID portals convert into 100 plus languages and convert back to English in the agency side automatically.

The NPS-AID Chapter Manager oversees the rollout and implementation of the program and is the primary Master Administrator for the agency. They will on-board and approve new users, control access permissions and more. But rest easy, it is a very easy process and position to hold!

In general you will be contacted within 48 hours to complete the process.

Everything needed to standup, rollout and manage your NPS-AID program today and into the future, to include: Access to the NPS-AID system and database for all agency users; Agency branded chapter logos and branded community interface portal; Full password protected access to the NPS-AID Learning Center; Agency branded promotional materials and video PSA's; Agency policy templates; Press Release templates; Full community side record management, security, upkeep and unlimited data storage; If selected, dispatch system integration; Training, Support and so much more.

Yes! The NPS-AID program is a true cross-jurisdictional network system that is housed within and utilizes the power of the OPS Network. This means that not only does each agency have access and full control of the community partners who join within their jurisdiction, but to all member information from across the nation. No jurisdictional limits.

Most SNR's are local lists that rarely cross jurisdictional borders and are often perceived to focus mainly on conditions that fall within the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The NPS-AID platform was developed to conquer the many limitations of localized SNR's while creating a partnership with the entire disabled and special needs community, and bringing everyone together on a secure, centralized cross-jurisdictional platform.

The National Public Safety Alliance for Individuals with Disabilities is open to any person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities due to a physical and/or intellectual disability.

Yes! All authorized users can search the NPS-AID platform by name, address, member description and more. The NPS-AID platform is an excellent tool for not only rendering aid during a traffic stop or emergency, but also when interacting with disabled partners who cannot identify themselves or have gone missing.
