Collaboration between stakeholders, real-time information sharing, new technologies and relationship building within the community will all be critical moving forward to strengthen public safety professionals' ability to serve their communities.”Īccording to Rave Mobile Safety’s press release, “Without the necessary tools, resources and funding, responders will continue to face challenges with data sharing and real-time collaboration during an emergency. Emergency response teams need innovative ways to overcome these obstacles.
“New strategies are needed to fill the gap.
The report’s executive summary observed that, “The public health and safety needs of communities are continually evolving, as are the best practices for addressing them.
In an emergency situation, real-time collaboration can speed response, increase situational awareness and improve responder safety. Respondents cited barriers to information sharing and collaboration include lack of technology (44%), lack of funding and resources (41%) and unwillingness from departments/agencies (36%). While responses show better information-sharing across jurisdictions is needed, nearly all respondents (94%) report their agency’s ability to collaborate in real time with other agencies needs significant (5%), major (19%), some (41%) or minor (29%) improvement. Additional staff and budget increases top the list of changes that would give respondents more confidence in their agency’s ability to improve public safety, followed by technology to enable more effective response. The top three challenges causing significant or major impact to those in public safety over the past 18 months are: Covid-19 (83%), hiring and staffing (72%) and public perceptions of first responders/law enforcement (61%).
