Community safety tops the priority list in communities across the country. Yet police departments today face many challenges, including staff shortages, budget cutbacks and operational demands that take time away from solving crimes.
Developing partnerships within the community is a proven and cost-effective tactic to help police improve efficiency and effectiveness and enhance neighborhood safety. To make a smart city a safe city, law enforcement teams can incorporate information gathered from physical security systems from both the private and public sectors. Such solutions not only achieve security goals but also improve emergency preparedness, increase situational awareness and enhance operational efficiency.
