Once in a while a product or technology comes along that is disruptive and changes an industry or way of doing things in a substantial way. For example, Skype, Netflix, Apple and Google rolled out products and services that approached their market in such a unique way that they changed everything.

When it comes to public safety, PublicEye^® is such a product.

There are over a billion smartphones and tablets in the world. Businesses that have integrated these devices into their processes typically benefit from significant reduced time to respond and increases in productivity, mobility and savings.

Yet, the public safety community - police, fire and EMS - has been lagging in adopting the wireless technology. They had no choice; there was no comprehensive solution they could adopt.

Until now

Using iPhones, iPads and Android phones and tablets, PublicEye^® automates many police, fire and EMS functions and processes. It brings video streaming and other technologies to bear on the business of public safety in a way never done before. It even helps police, fire and EMS to interoperate with each other within their own communities or with their counterparts in adjacent communities.

PublicEye^® leverages the more than a billion smartphone users to collaborate with police and fire in an innovative way through social media such as Twitter, YouTube and Flickr.

If you are a mayor, police or fire chief, or run an emergency medical service, you should learn more about PublicEye^®. We are just a call or click away if you want a live demo.

PublicEye^® can save life and property. You can also do more with less, which is very important if you are understaffed.

Here is how PublicEye^® is redesigning public safety:

• Every first responder, using a secure link, uses their iPhone, iPad or Android device to monitor 911 calls as they occur on a real-time map, and with one touch getting complete details.
• A police chief or an officer watches, on a phone or tablet, the surveillance cameras at a locked down school from anywhere: at the school, headquarters or home.
• A fire chief evaluates a situation from his home at 2 AM by viewing live video from a fire. Or an ER doctor watches video of a patient (and the instrument readings) from an accident site or the inbound ambulance, streamed from an EMT’s phone.
• More than a billion smart phones and their owners are leveraged as active participants in public safety. At a house fire, the neighbor calls 911 and takes a photo (or video) and uploads it to her Twitter (or YouTube or Flickr) account. The Twitter icon appears next to the 911 icon. First responders and chiefs see the photo with one touch.
• During a child-abduction situation, the officer at the location views the photos and addresses of every sex offender living nearby. At the HQ or in the field, detectives scour social media feeds surrounding the location for images of the child and abductor.

• A sophisticated alert mechanism warns a volunteer firefighter of a nearby fire, or warns an officer when she drives by a sex offender’s residence, hazmat site, condemned building or other points of interest.
• Public safety departments can initiate tweets and other social media postings to warn, inform and educate the community. Road closings or travel restrictions can be communicated quickly to a wide audience.
• At an armed robbery at a convenience store, an officer takes a picture of the robber from the surveillance video and sends a group MMS BOLO with the photo to every officer with one touch. An authorized officer tweets the photo so that the public is warned and can be on the lookout.
• A sophisticated multi-jurisdictional architecture allows police, fire and emergency medical personnel to seamlessly share information even when they use different CAD/RMS systems.
• Officers observe locations of B&Es and other local crime history on a map in real-time as they drive through a neighborhood.
• Firefighters view the building pre-plan or locate the nearest fire hydrant.
• An AVL system tracks patrol cars, fire engines, ambulances, helicopters and officers and their ETAs.
• A thrilling touch interface that is “So easy the Chief can use it.”®
