Community safety and infrastructure security is of the utmost importance to local governments. Whether it’s the smallest town or the largest city, multiple agencies may need to respond to public safety concerns—and quickly.
Departments like the mayor’s office, first responders, departments of transportation, and school districts all have different safety concerns, so it is critical for them to get relevant, real-time alerts and collaborate on their response.
