Chapter 1
Land Mobile Radio
Land mobile radio (LMR) systems have been the lifeblood of emergency response for over a century and will continue supporting emergency responders for years.
Geographic Information Systems
GIS requires staff, data, hardware, software, and systems for it to be successful in the operation of a Next Generation 911 (NG911) system.
Next Generation 911 Readiness
Next Generation 911 represents a quantum leap forward regarding the services that public-safety agencies can provide to the citizenry—but it can take as long as three years for a statewide NG911 capability to emerge. Thus, the needle isn’t going to move appreciably year over year.
Operations
Our analysis demonstrated a need for public-safety leadership to grow beyond being focused on tactics and evolve into embracing a long-term vision and communicating it effectively throughout the organization.
Security
While an ever-increasing number of public-sector organizations are falling victim to cyberattacks, physical security remains an important consideration.
Staffing
ECCs have been suffering from a severe staffing shortage for the last several years. This situation has worsened and will persist because the candidate pool is shrinking and Baby Boomers are retiring.
Chapter 7
Data Integration
Public safety leaders should be focused on building a culture where the organization fully understands and supports the importance of data.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML) technologies are gaining traction in many sectors, and the public safety community is no exception.
