March - April - 20186GOVERNMENT CIO OUTLOOKEDITORIALA New Safety FrameworkTransformative infrastructure investment and technology are set to feed the public safety ecosystem like never before. The Internet of Things (IoT) is spurring a revolution by making public safety networks more agile and advanced, keeping citizens and first responder safe. In an event of a disaster or accident, every second counts for the first responders rushing to the scene. Technology that could potentially save time and limit distractions could save lives in this scenario. The use of public safety IoT tools typically gathers people, process, and data, and streams it over the internet in a centralized repository to make networked connections more relevant and valuable for the public safety professionals than ever before.The public safety community is also hungry for apps. Having seen the way mobile applications boost productivity in practically every business sector, public safety professionals are clamoring to use their iPhones, iPads, and Android devices in the fields to track locations and status of field staff, view and share images/videos and improve situational awareness in real-time. Besides this, public agencies around the country are becoming increasingly interested in implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions for policing, fighting crimes, and cybercrimes as models for enforcing law. It's worth noting that surveillance drones powered by AI will soon be able to predict crimes in advance with tools such as facial recognition software to identify those with criminal records and machine learning software to report on any sort of suspicious activity.At this juncture, Government CIO Outlook brings to you the Top 10 Public Safety Solution Providers 2018.
