  • Written by Urgent Communications Administrator
  • 1st August 2001

APCO, the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International, is bringing the world together through communications at the 67th annual conference and exposition held in Salt Lake City Aug. 5-9, 2001.

Conference Featured Speaker

This year’s featured speaker at APCO is Mike Schlappi from Orem, UT. Mike is employed by Intermountain Health Care in Salt Lake City, where he is the founder and director of Attitude Therapy, which provides motivational speaking for businesses and organizations.

Mike is a four-time Olympic medalist in wheelchair basketball. He is the only wheelchair basketball player in the United States to be a member of the past four Olympic teams. Schlappi is a member of the board of trustees that will oversee the 2002 Winter Olympic Games to be held in Salt Lake City. Recently, he was honored as one of Utah’s top 50 athletes of the century.

In his book, Bulletproof Principles for Striking Gold, Mike tells his unique life story, mixed with a profound yet simply philosophy of life. His life story is featured in a national award-winning video, “If You Can’t Stand Up, Stand Out.”

Conference Highlights: Sessions of Interest

  • “Example RF Safety Programs for FCC and OSHA Compliance” — This presentation will provide examples of how to ensure compliance with FCC and OSHA RF safety rules. It will include an overview of the FCC RF safety regulations and example controls for achieving compliance, including the use of an RF safety program and appropriate signage.
    Aug. 6, 4:15 p.m.-5:15 p.m.

  • “Are You Prepared for a Disaster?” — As a communications center manager, Susi Marsan handled the day-to-day operations during the Loma Prieta earthquake in San Francisco as well as the Oklahoma City bombing and other emergencies. This presentation discusses how a communications center’s manager and staff can better prepare to deal with such events.
    Aug. 7, 1:45 p.m.-2:45 p.m.

  • “Field Results: Wideband Data in the New 700MHz Public Safety Band” — Police, fire and EMS units in Pinellas County, FL, use the first wideband data system. Powered by Motorola’s technology, the system enables wireless video, VoIP and intranet access simultaneously. This session will discuss field results, highlight requisite technological advances and illustrate operational benefits in the new 700MHz band.
    Aug. 8, 8 a.m.-9 a.m.

  • “Integrating Public Transit Systems into Public Safety Communications” — Providing a communications solution for a public transit agency through integration with a public safety communications system offers many benefits. It includes a case study of a system that allows police, fire and transit to interoperate.
    Aug. 9, 2:15 p.m.-3:15 p.m.

Special Events

Listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on Sunday, Aug. 5, perform the weekly radio and TV broadcast of “Music and the Spoken Word.” APCO members are asked to arrive between 8:45 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. for reserved seating. The choir will perform “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” as a special request for APCO members after the broadcast.

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, which was formed in 1836, has more than 300 members who give their time and talents in practices and performances without pay. They perform regularly in the world-famous tabernacle on Temple Square.

MANAPCO’s theme this year is “Go for the Gold.” Catch the spirit of the Olympic winter games by attending this event on Tuesday, Aug. 7. Performing that evening will be the Flying Aces. This high-flying act will dazzle you while Olympians Trace Worthington and Kris Fedderson jump as high as 25′ in the air while wearing snowboards and skis. The Olympic Youth Development Team will simulate the excitement on the ice via rollerblades.

At APCO’s closing banquet, watch the traditional changing of the guard as APCO swears in a new president and board. Attire will be business-casual to formal.
