Echo Data Analytics to Present Free CPSE Accreditation Analytics Webinar
On Thursday, June 25, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. EST/10:00 a.m. CT, Echo Data Analytics and the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) will host a free one-hour webinar. Echo will demonstrate to fire stations how analytics may expedite the accreditation process as a 2026 CPSE Annual Sponsor. Sign up here.
Serious data discipline, monitoring performance metrics, recording compliance and demonstrating progress over time are all necessary for accreditation. Spreadsheets and institutional memory are where a lot of departments store their work. That gap is filled by Echo's Accreditations Analytics module. Attendees will witness how departments utilize the platform to:
- Organize and track accreditation data in one place
- Monitor performance measures against CPSE benchmarks
- Evaluate response performance against their Standards of Cover and Effective Response Force benchmarks
- Surface trends and gaps before the self-assessment begins
There is opportunity for questions during the webinar, which features actual examples from departments utilizing the module. Registrants will receive a link to the recording, and it is free and available to all fire service workers.
"Accreditation shouldn't be a scramble to pull data together at the last minute. We help departments stay organized year-round, so when it's time for the assessment, the story tells itself," said Tariq Bashir, founder of Echo Data Analytics.
