An Interactive Guide to the Future of Public Safety Mobility


Back to Package

This conference workshop presentation engages the attendee’s voice in how mobility technologies can advance law enforcement. Learn more about how mobile apps are changing law enforcement through scenario-based demonstrations. Attendees can bring their own devices and demo applications/solutions. New apps will increase location-based services and the details about those assets, like knowing what training an individual has (e.g., CIT, active shooter) to identify the best resources in the vicinity for responding to a critical incident. This workshop shows how agencies are developing their own apps.
