Radius Mapping helps locate callers in Northern California

Shasta Area Safety Communications Agency (SHASCOM) is a joint powers agency that provides   9-1-1 and dispatch services for Shasta County, including the Anderson Police Department, the Redding Police and Fire Departments, the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office, and the County’s EMS providers.

With Shasta County located halfway between Sacramento and the Oregon border, the terrain includes giant redwoods, mountains as well as Lassen National Park with multiple lakes and trails.

The diversity of the terrain in Shasta County can make location accuracy a particular challenge.   Add to that the fact that the beauty of the terrain draws thousands of tourists to the area — people who are unfamiliar with exactly where they are — and the ability to locate people is made even more difficult.
