Police Departments

Since 9/11, the U.S. government has made first responder “interoperability” a key pillar in their national security plan. According to SAFECOM, Communications Interoperability is “the ability of public safety personnel in different agencies or jurisdictions to communicate with each other by radio on demand, in real time”. With over 44,000 public safety organizations in the US alone, and over 2,500,000 public safety first responders, DHS estimates that interoperability is an $18B challenge.

Police officers need the ability, both en route and on scene, to be able to collaborate with other agencies for the most effective response. They need seamless, simple intra- and inter-agency communications that are simple to use, easy to deploy, and completely reliable. Communicating effectively with mobile multi-agency teams and coordinating on-scene activities necessitates the use of new technology, but the options can overwhelming, and then there is the challenge of integrating with current technologies.

In Motion Technology’s solutions are helping police departments better respond, with the right information, at the right time.
