California Multi Agency Support Services, (CAL-MASS) is a non-profit organization that was formed to assist local, state and federal public services agencies with technical support for investigative purposes, field operations, consulting and technical assistance during emergency situations. One of our main focuses is to eliminate the ever growing red tape and political roadblocks often associated
with multi-agency support services and provide whatever technical services are needed in the shortest amount of time possible. Our mission is to assist Federal, State, and Local Public Service Agencies, as well as Community disaster preparedness groups with a multitude of services centered on today's technology. CAL-MASS will make technology, in all forms, readily available and offer support through disasters and emergencies as well as their standard operational processes. This will enable agencies to respond faster to situations and permit a higher rate of efficiency and accuracy to complete their tasks. All to often technology is overlooked, partially because of the way operations have been conducted for the last several hundred years, but mainly because of shrinking budges, over-tasked employees and the lack of technically skilled personnel. Smaller agencies and departments can no longer afford to staff units dedicated to technical investigations, thereby causing them to loose one of the greatest investigative tools available to them.
