LACSLink processing provides you access to address conversion data resulting from 911 emergency response implementation. The resulting address conversion replaces rural addresses with city format addresses to ensure emergency responders can locate the address when an emergency situation arises.
For example, an address is converted from a rural route/PO box address format to a number/street address format in order to receive 911 emergency response services. The USPS LACSLink database provides a method for converting the old addresses. The USPS Change of Address (COA) database does not contain these addresses since these changes are actually conversions and not moves resulting in a change of address. Finalist queries the LACSLink database to convert appropriate addresses.
