Jeff Gooch, BS
Co-Founder and Chief Technical Officer
Jeff brings nearly fifteen years of information technology expertise and over two decades of public safety experience to bear for our clients.
Jeff began his public safety career in 2001 as a volunteer firefighter with Cranberry Township VFC, later earning his EMT-B and joining STAT Medevac as a Communications Specialist in 2004, where he and Stephen met. Jeff would later transfer to STAT Medevac’s IT department in 2008 and from there to Cranberry Township as an IT Administrator focusing on public safety technology deployment and maintenance. During his time with Cranberry Township Jeff pursued and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Administration and Fire Science from Point Park University (2016).
Jeff then moved from Cranberry Township to Cranberry Fire and Emergency Services full time in 2017 where he served as the Community Risk Reduction Coordinator. Additionally, Jeff led multiple projects including the deployment and implementation of a P25 radio encryption and trunking system, improvement of station technology and station/facility renovations, and the creation and implementation of a Pre-Incident Planning system to improve response times and emergency management.
Jeff worked tightly with Cranberry Township code enforcement and emergency management to complete these projects and as a result has a well-rounded understanding of the technology and systems needs of public safety entities. During the transition towards forming Innovative Public Safety and serving full-time with the agency Jeff was the Director of Network Services for Prime Communications. Now, Jeff is able to tackle the needs of our clients and help them leverage technology to bridge gaps in capabilities, improve their offered services, and solve other problems which complicate the delivery of high-quality services to our clients’ communities.
