Overview
In an emergency, every second counts. With the right artificial intelligence (AI) technology, public safety agencies detect and respond to complex emergencies sooner and safer.
AI and machine learning tools can provide actionable insights in an emergency, detecting patterns between different 9-1-1 calls and giving agencies vital information about emergencies as they unfold in real time – from large rapid-onset events to linked incidents that may be part of a coordinated attack. With earlier detection and action, public safety agencies can speed recovery while reducing impacts on communities, levels of service, resources, and staff well-being.
Watch this on-demand webinar on the power of assistive AI for enhancing public safety response. In this complimentary, 30-minute discussion, you’ll learn:
- How AI-assisted dispatch analysis works, and the capabilities and best practices to look for
- How these tools can speed response, reduce recovery, and increase safety for first responders and the public
- How machine learning can reduce stress and improve morale for emergency dispatch teams
