  • Publication number: 20240184819
    Abstract: The present specification provides an electronic media redaction system including performance analytics. In an embodiment, a baseline redacted version of a media file is received, and a comparative redacted version of the media file is also received. A comparison is made between the comparative redacted version of the media file and the baseline redacted version of the media file. As a result of the comparison, a performance ranking is determined and a display is controlled to cause the performance ranking to be generated on the display.

  • Patent number: 11995733
    Abstract: A process of linking newly submitted unsolicited electronic tips to public-safety data including public-safety cases and tips. An electronic tip processing system correlates a newly received unsolicited electronic tip with public-safety cases. A correlation score is assigned to each public-safety case. The system selects a public-safety case which has a correlation score greater than or equal to a threshold. The system then presents a notification to a case supervisor assigned to the selected public-safety case. The notification indicates availability of new tip information to the case supervisor and also requests the case supervisor to review and validate whether the new tip information including the unsolicited electronic tip is relevant to the public-safety case. When a response received from the case supervisor indicates that the electronic tip is validated by the case supervisor as being relevant to the public-safety case, the system links the unsolicited electronic tip to the public-safety case.

  • Patent number: 11533602
    Abstract: A device, system, and method for selecting a public safety answering point server to include on a call is provided. A first communication device associated with a first responder, during a call with a second communication device, provides first and second input mechanisms to select a public-safety answering point (PSAP) to include on the call, respectively based on an association with the first communication device or based on a location of the second communication device. In response to detecting activation of the first or second input mechanism, the first communication device respectively provides, to a network server: information to identify the association with the first communication device or the location of the second communication device. Subsequently, first and second communication devices communicate on the call with a PSAP as selected by the network server.

  • Publication number: 20220335360
    Abstract: A method for routing civilian calls to a public-safety officer is provided herein. During operation, a call processor receives a civilian call having a source identifier number identifying a source of the call and a target identifier number identifying a target of the call. A public-safety officer is determined that is the target of the call and a public-safety officer status database is accessed to determine a current status of the public-safety officer. When the officer is able to take the call, the call is routed directly to the officer. When the officer is unable to take the call, the officer status database is accessed, and a best available officer to take the call is determined. The call is then routed to the best available officer that is able to take the call.

  • Patent number: 11330104
    Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively routing emergency calls between public safety answering points and in-field first responders. One example method includes determining one or both of an identity and a location of an emergency caller. The method includes retrieving, based on the identity and/or the location, active incident information identifying one or more active incidents associated with the identity and/or the location. The method includes identifying identities and/or locations of one or more in-field first responders associated with the one or more active incidents and comparing the identity and/or location of the emergency caller to the identities and/or locations of the in-field first responders associated with the active incidents. When a match is found based on the comparison, the emergency call is routed to one of the matching in-field first responders and not to the PSAP. When a match is not found, the emergency call is routed to the PSAP.
