Fire Stations

Title: HSIP Gold Fire Stations 2007 Q1

Originator: Techni Graphic Systems, Inc.; Explore 200610

Publication_Date: 20070122

Abstract: Fire Stations in the United States

Any location where fire fighters are stationed at or based out of, or where equipment that such personnel use in carrying out their jobs is stored for ready use. Fire Departments not having a permanent location are included, in which case their location has been depicted at the city/town hall or at the center of their service area if a city/town hall does not exist. This dataset includes those locations primarily engaged in forest or grasslands fire fighting, including fire lookout towers if the towers are in current use for fire protection purposes. This dataset includes both private and governmental entities. Fire fighting training academies are also included.

License restricted vendor provided data has been removed and replaced with non license restricted data in the following states:

Arkansas

Kansas

Text fields in this dataset have been set to all upper case to facilitate consistent database engine search results.

All diacritics (e.g. the German umlaut or the Spanish tilde) have been replaced with their closest equivalent English character to facilitate use with database systems that may not support diacritics.

No entities for the Northern Mariana Islands are included in this dataset.

The currentness of this dataset is indicated by the [CONTDATE] attribute. Based upon this attribute the oldest record dates from 3/05/2004 and the newest record dates from 1/04/2007.

Purpose: Homeland Security

Use Cases: Use cases describe how the data may be used and help to define and clarify requirements.

  1. An assessment of whether or not the total fire fighting capability in a given area is adequate.
  2. A list of resources to draw upon by surrounding areas when local resources have temporarily been overwhelmed by a disaster - route analysis can determine those entities that are able to respond the quickest.
  3. A resource for Emergency Management planning purposes.
  4. A resource for catastrophe response to aid in the retrieval of equipment by outside responders in order to deal with the disaster.
  5. A resource for situational awareness planning and response for Federal Government events.

Access Constraints: The following applies to records with "-DOD" appended to the end of the [NAME] attribute and ([SECCLASS] = "FOUO"):

For official use only - The information provided for these entities was based on the agreement that the information will be used for official use only.

Law Enforcement

Title: HSIP Gold Law Enforcement 2007 Q2

Originator: Techni Graphic Systems, Inc.; Explore 200610

Publication Date: 20070215

Abstract: Law Enforcement Locations in the United States

Any location where sworn officers of a law enforcement agency are regularly based or stationed.

Law enforcement agencies "are publicly funded and employ at least one full-time or part-time sworn officer with general arrest powers". This is the definition used by the US Department of Justice - Bureau of Justice Statistics (DOJ-BJS) for their Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) survey. Although LEMAS only includes non Federal Agencies, this dataset includes locations for federal, state, local, and special jurisdiction law enforcement agencies.

Law enforcement agencies include, but are not limited to, municipal police, county sheriffs, state police, school police, park police, railroad police, federal law enforcement agencies, departments within non law enforcement federal agencies charged with law enforcement (e.g. US Postal Inspectors), and cross jurisdictional authorities (e.g. Port Authority Police).

Although TGS's intention is to only include locations associated with agencies that meet the above definition, TGS has discovered a few locations that are associated with agencies that are not publicly funded. TGS is deleting these locations as we become aware of them, but some probably still exist in this dataset.

In general, the requirements and training for becoming a sworn law enforcement officer are set by each state. Law Enforcement agencies themselves are not chartered or licensed by their state. County, city and other government authorities within each state are usually empowered by their state law to setup or disband Law Enforcement agencies. Generally, sworn Law Enforcement officers must report to the state agency by which they are employed.

License restricted vendor provided data has been removed and replaced with non license restricted data in the following:

Arkansas - The Arkansas Geographic Information Office (AGIO) provided data to TGS for Law Enforcement Stations in Arkansas .

The DATEOFSOUR attribute provided by Explore contains the date of 20070928. TGS believes this date should be 20060928 based on the definition provided and on other field values.

At the request of NGA, text fields in this dataset have been set to all upper case to facilitate consistent database engine search results.

At the request of NGA, all diacritics (e.g. the German umlaut or the Spanish tilde) have been replaced with their closest equivalent English character to facilitate use with database systems that may not support diacritics.

No entities for the Northern Mariana Islands are included in this dataset.

The currentness of this dataset is indicated by the more recent date of the [CONTDATE] attribute and the [DATEOFSOUR] attribute. Based upon these attributes, the oldest record dates from 12/12/2003 and the newest record dates from 01/22/2007. The oldest [DATEOFSOUR] attribute stems from Explore. The most current [CONTDATE] is the most current contact date as provided by TGS.

Purpose: Homeland Security

Use Cases: Use cases describe how the data may be used and to help define and clarify requirements.

  1. An assessment of whether or not the total police capability in a given area is adequate.
  2. A list of resources to draw upon in surrounding areas when local resources have temporarily been overwhelmed by a disaster - route analysis can help to determine those entities who are able to respond the quickest.
  3. A resource for emergency management planning purposes.
  4. A resource for catastrophe response to aid in the retrieval of equipment by outside responders in order to deal with the disaster.
  5. A resource for situational awareness planning and response for federal government events.

Access Constraints:The following applies to records with "-DOD" appended to the end of the [NAME] attribute and ([SECCLASS] = "UNCLASSIFIED - TREAT AS FOUO"):

The information provided for these entities should be treated as "For Official Use Only".

The following applies to records provided by Explore ([SOURCE] = "EXPLORE") and ([SECCLASS] <> "UNCLASSIFIED - TREAT AS FOUO"). These are the terms of the license agreement between NGA and Explore Information Services ("Contractor" refers to Explore):

The contractor shall deliver the database with Federal Government license to include the unrestricted right to access, use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, and/or otherwise disclose contents among the Federal Government and its contractors. In time of emergency or crisis these rights may be expanded by contract modification to include Non-federal Government disaster/emergency response agencies and/or personnel.

This license is expanded to include the disclosure of the data to State and Local government officials on a non-emergency basis. The data is available for the fifty states, its territories, and possessions. This data may be accessed via a thin client interface. This interface allows "official" HLS persons and state/local official access to view this data on unclassified networks such as NGA's NIPRNET, and the DHS Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN).
