Bucks County Face Cybersecurity Crisis

Bucks County Face Cybersecurity Crisis

Law enforcement in Bucks County is currently grappling with a severe cybersecurity incident that has left their computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system, essential for incident prioritization and response coordination, non-operational since Sunday. The CAD system, according to the Department of Homeland Security, is critical for dispatchers and call-takers to manage incident calls, track responder status, and efficiently dispatch personnel. This unexpected downtime has disrupted automated services, and law enforcement officials are unable to access databases for the Commonwealth Law Enforcement Assistance Network and the National Crime Information Center.

Despite the challenges, 9-1-1 services in Bucks County remain operational, with first responders resorting to phone and radio communication as the county investigates the incident. The loss of the CAD system, however, means that responders are currently unable to access vital information from the aforementioned databases, impacting their ability to carry out their duties effectively. As of Tuesday, there is no projected timeframe for when the CAD system and associated services might be restored, adding urgency to the ongoing collaboration between county officials and state and federal agencies in the investigation of this cybersecurity breach.

In response to the crisis, the county’s IT department is working tirelessly to bring the affected systems back online as soon as possible. This collaborative effort aims to not only restore the CAD system but also mitigate the broader impact on law enforcement capabilities in accessing critical databases. The county remains committed to providing timely updates on the situation as they work towards resolving the cybersecurity incident and reinforcing the resilience of their emergency communication infrastructure.
