Data siloing, disparate data bases, lack of quality data, limited storage options, dependencies on CAD API’s (and CAD architecture), and the lack of any meaningful exchange or real-time data/information has hindered technology adoption in the fire and law enforcement communities.

Some agencies are leading in many ways- robotics, smart city initiatives, common operating pictures, data analytics, and the emerging use of AI but they are leading in silos.

The Western Fire Chief Association has gathered together fire agencies and partnered with Microsoft and Insight to create a robust cloud environment designed and secured for public safety agencies to aggregate, standardize, and share data.

Takeaway

Public Safety agencies are moving together to a Public Safety Cloud environment. This will change how industry interacts with data required from CAD and other public safety storage solutions. The public safety cloud is designed to enhance access to data through data standardization and aggregation. This is a signal to the various public safety support industries of a new emerging public safety data sharing environment.
