Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Research and development focused on data science in the public safety sector.

  • Organization provides fire safety data research to help public safety agencies use database technology known as the National Fire Operations Report System (NFORS)to help them gather, organize, and translate data to improve how they evaluate risks, deploy resources, and respond to emergencies.

    Expenses $365,049 · Revenue $497,219

  • Organization was an awardee for a Fire Prevention & Safety (FP&S) grant with Department of Homeland Services (DHS) and Federal Emergency Mgt Agency (FEMA)Grant Programs Directorate to upgrade and improve user access for mobile and Web for the Exposure Tracker Platform. (This platform is free for any firefighter, regardless if their departments are enrolled in the NFORS platform. It uses the same platform, but would limit the users to just be able to maintain their individual career exposures.) In addition, the FireCARES database upgrades, usr access updates, web UI/UX improvements. (This platform is a legacy platform with a public and restricted site that was designed to provide a quick dashboard of a Community Risk Assessment score. Organization is responsible for maintaining it)

    Expenses $504,044

  • Organization supported the Colorado Department of Public Safety, Department of Fire Prevention and Control; provided a Community Risk Assessment (CRA) through research and assessment of key data elements and associated metrics to collaborate and develop a Community Risk Reduction (CRR) plan.

    Expenses $34,333 · Revenue $44,364

  • Implementation of the NFORS technology directly with various agencies including direct contracts with the CDC and FEMA (awarded a Fire Prevention & Safety (FP&S) Grant). NFORS technology is also integrated for various public safety and EMS missions and projects, which include data analytics and community risk reduction reporting.

    Expenses $23,409 · Revenue $94,069

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
