First you have to define PSAP. It is not as easy as you think. We just went through this in Missouri.

then, no, there is no source anyways.

PSAP is Public Safety Answering Point. In other words, the main 9-1-1 center for an area.

Because many PSAPs are not radio related, or if they are their broadcast towers are not at the building sites, you won't find this information on RadioReference.

Many PSAPs don't publicly disclose their location, on grounds of security concerns.

That being said, the National Emergency Number Association - nena.org - may be able to at least give you towns/cities if you have a legitimate need for them.

Thanks...
I have names and cities from the FCC site, but it would be too cumbersome to manually geocode

Have you tried Google Earth?

Still a manual process, but it's a step in the direction you want to travel.

Or even better, contact your
a.) State 911 Board and/or b.) SWIC or c.) EMA/State GIS folks
I'll bet they have the info, for release to the proper authorized personnel
