The challenges faced by Public Safety agencies have been compounded by recent pandemic pressures on budgets, social/political movements, police officer recruitment and retention crisis, elevated demand for transparency and accountability and, an ever-increasing demand for higher levels of service. Today there are billions of sensors, cameras, alarms, and switches in use but not connected in real-time to people and facilities who can act on the data being collected – this is referred to as “stranded data.”
Join us in conversation as we share real stories of how cities are using technology to improve safety & how enhanced safety services through improved community connectivity and real-time response will be a key element in the safe city movement.
