SUMMARY:Mid-Eastern APCO Fall Training Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Your shift starts with 911. It shouldn’t start with passwords.\nMeet GateKeeper at the Mid-Eastern APCO 2026 Fall Training Symposium\nOctober 14–16\, 2026 • Ocean City\, Maryland \nArriving early to log into multiple computers\, CAD systems\, and websites? Your team has more important things to do than repeatedly type passwords. \nVisit GateKeeper at the Mid-Eastern APCO Fall Training Symposium to see how proximity-based authentication helps dispatchers get to work faster—with fewer passwords to type and no personal phone required. \nFaster logins. Phone-free MFA. Built for public safety.\nGateKeeper combines workstation authentication\, multifactor authentication\, and password management to simplify the logins your team repeats throughout every shift. \n\nGet ready for calls faster. Reduce repetitive password entry across computers\, applications\, and websites.\nAdd MFA without adding phone prompts. Authenticate with a GateKeeper hardware token and PIN.\nAutomatically lock when you step away. Help protect unattended workstations without another task to remember.\nMake access easier to manage. Give IT centralized control over users\, credentials\, and authentication policies\, with logs that support audits.\n\nAlready deployed in hundreds of agencies\nLaw enforcement agencies\, PSAPs\, jails\, and other public safety organizations use GateKeeper to make secure access part of their daily workflow. \nSee how your center could bring the same convenience to the console. \nSee it work. Bring your login challenges.\nMultiple computers at each position? Repeated CAD logins? Preparing your team for MFA? \nStop by our booth for a live demonstration. Tell us how your dispatchers work\, and we’ll discuss how GateKeeper could help simplify access at your center.

SUMMARY:2026 Washington Public Safety Communications Conference
DESCRIPTION:Build the 911 Center People Want to Work In—Starting at the Workstation\nMeet GateKeeper at the 2026 WA APCO-NENA Fall Conference\nOctober 13–15\, 2026\nKitsap Conference Center | Bremerton\, WA \nThe 2026 WA APCO-NENA Fall Conference asks public-safety leaders to imagine “the center we want to work in.” \nThat center should not force telecommunicators to choose between fast access and secure access. \nIt should not encourage employees to leave sessions open because signing back in takes too long. It should not require the incoming shift to continue working under someone else’s identity. And it should not leave IT guessing who was actually using a shared workstation. \nGateKeeper is coming to Bremerton to demonstrate a better experience. \nThe WA APCO-NENA Fall Conference takes place October 13–15 at the Kitsap Conference Center. The 2026 theme is “Culture Reimagined: Building the center we want to work in\,” with training\, keynote programming\, networking and the annual chapter awards ceremony.  \nOne Console. Three Moments That Matter.\n1. The Start of the Shift\nA telecommunicator arrives at a shared console. \nThey need access to Windows\, CAD\, mapping\, records and other critical resources. They should not have to type multiple passwords\, wait for a phone prompt or continue using the previous employee’s session. \nGateKeeper helps authorized users access shared Windows workstations using organization-approved authentication methods\, including proximity-based and hardware-token workflows. The objective is faster access without losing individual accountability.  \n2. The Moment Someone Steps Away\nA telecommunicator leaves the console to speak with a supervisor\, assist a colleague or respond to an operational need. \nTraditional inactivity timeouts create an uncomfortable choice. Set the timeout too long\, and an unattended workstation remains exposed. Set it too short\, and the computer locks while someone is still actively working. \nGateKeeper can automatically secure the workstation when the authorized user moves away. The agency controls whether the configured action locks the computer\, disconnects the session for fast user switching or signs the user out.  \n3. The Handoff\nThe next employee takes the position. \nThey should begin under their own identity—not inherit the previous telecommunicator’s open session. \nGateKeeper is designed for shared-computer environments where multiple employees need rapid access throughout the day. Each user can authenticate independently\, helping administrators maintain cleaner records of who accessed the workstation and when.  \nThe Best Security Process Is the One People Can Follow\nPassword sharing\, unattended sessions and inaccurate audit trails are often treated as employee-behavior problems. \nBut sometimes the approved process simply does not fit the work. \nWhen authentication is slow or repetitive\, employees naturally search for shortcuts. A more practical security strategy removes the incentive to take those shortcuts. \nGateKeeper helps emergency communications centers create a workflow that is: \nFast enough for operationsEmployees can begin work without unnecessary login delays. \nSecure when users move awayWorkstations can lock automatically instead of relying only on memory or inactivity. \nAccountable across shared consolesEach employee can access the workstation under an individually attributable identity. \nPractical without personal phonesHardware-based MFA can support environments where phone authentication is inconvenient\, restricted or undesirable. \nCentrally controlled by ITAdministrators can manage authentication policies\, computers\, users and access activity through GateKeeper Hub.  \nPut GateKeeper Through the Dispatch Test\nAt the WA APCO-NENA vendor floor\, do not just ask us for a presentation. \nGive us a real scenario: \n\n“Our dispatchers share Windows accounts.” \n\n\n“People leave CAD workstations unlocked.” \n\n\n“The next shift sometimes works under the previous user.” \n\n\n“Our timeout policy interrupts active work.” \n\n\n“Phone-based MFA does not fit our center.” \n\n\n“We need stronger access records without slowing everyone down.” \n\nWe will help break the workflow into four decisions: \n\nWho needs access?\nWhich workstation or system do they need?\nHow should they authenticate?\nWhat should happen when they leave?\n\nThen we will demonstrate how GateKeeper could fit into that process. \nMeet Washington’s 911 Community\nWA APCO-NENA expects more than 150 attendees from PSAPs and partner agencies across Washington\, including frontline telecommunicators\, supervisors\, trainers\, directors and technology decision-makers. The vendor floor is designed for up to 50 exhibitors\, creating a focused setting for conversations about public-safety operations and technology.  \nGateKeeper Vendor-Floor Demonstrations\nWednesday\, October 14\, 20261:15–5:15 p.m.Kitsap Conference CenterBremerton\, WA \nThe full conference runs from October 13 through October 15\, with the vendor floor scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.  \nCome See a Better Workstation Handoff\nThe outgoing user walks away. \nThe workstation secures itself. \nThe incoming user authenticates under the correct identity. \nThe center keeps moving. \nFast access. Automatic protection. Individual accountability.
