In the ever-evolving world of public safety, facility upgrades are not a luxury — they're a necessity. As technology advances and communities grow, the need for modern, resilient, and future-proof facilities becomes increasingly urgent.
In today’s emergency communications landscape, staffing shortages, skyrocketing call volumes, and increasing public expectations are driving Emergency Communication Centers (ECCs) to seek innovative solutions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems are often seen as lifelines, offering a way to handle nonemergency calls efficiently, freeing telecommunicators to handle the highest-priority incidents.
