Public safety interoperability: an international perspective

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

The paper will discuss a wide range of public safety communications interoperability -related issues both with a view to the Canadian/US environment and their relevance to the Australia/New Zealand landscape. These include: - Public safety wireless broadband in North America; - Public safety interoperability strategic planning at the local, regional, state, national and international levels; - Trends in interoperability technology, including both voice- and data-related issues; - Next Generation (NG) 911 and its future in Canada and beyond; - Situational awareness, common/user-defined operating pictures, precision information environments, GIS systems, blue force tracking and location-based services; - 3D in-door tracking and location for firefighters and public safety responders; and, - Social media for emergency management (#SMEM). Inspector (Ret.) Lance Valcour O.O.M, Chair, Law Enforcement Information Management Section International Association of Chiefs of Police

Public  Safety  Interoperability  Quotes  

“Effec've  emergency  management  depends  on  the  quality  of  the  informa'on  

and  tools  available  to  decision  makers  (including  the  community)  at  the  'me  decisions  need  to  be  made.”

Public  Safety  Interoperability  Strategic  Planning  

 

www.ci/g.ca  

 

It’s  not  about  the  technology.      

It’s  about  people,  culture,  leadership  (at  all  levels)  &  the  

willingness  to  change.

In  addi5on  to  the  large  number  of  challenges  we  face  in  planning  &  implemen5ng  new  technology  (funding,  coordina5on,  culture,  

etc.)….  

However…  

www.ci/g.ca  

 Resul5ng  from  the  massive  push-­‐back  

from  the  Snowden  affair,  privacy  advocates  are  becoming  even  more  vocal.  US  public  safety  agencies  are  

seeing  unprecedented  privacy  focused  legisla5on  and  lobbying.  

What  does  this  mean  for  all  of  us?  

Privacy  Challenges  are  Increasing!

Informa/on  Interoperability  Blueprint  

“The  true  currency  of  emergency  management  is,  and  has  always  been,  informa5on:  having  more  or  be\er  physical  assets  (e.g.  trucks)  can  improve  the  effec5veness  of  an  emergency  response,  but  only  

when  paired  with  good  informa5on  and  an  effec5ve  

decision  making  process.  By  contrast,  good  informa5on  and  decision  making  can  already  be  enough  for  an  effec5ve  emergency  response,  especially  where  it  concerns  the  key  goal  of  

preserving  human  life.”

What’s  Missing?  Cohesive  na/onal  level    Tri-­‐Service  &  Emergency  

Management  collabora/on  on  this  cri/cal  public  safety  issue.  

•  Provide  a  strategic  opportunity  for  open,  transparent  and  procurement-­‐free  dialogue  between  industry  and  public  safety  users.  

•  Offer  responders  from  mul5ple  jurisdic5ons  and  disciplines  the  opportunity  to  work  collabora5vely  whilst  gaining  insight  into  each  other’s  communi5es.  

•  Ensure  that  public  safety  and  emergency  management  leaders  have  a  voice  in  the  content  and  direc5on  of  future  Comms  Connect  events.  

•  Build  strong  alliances  through  linkages  within  their  respec5ve  networks/communi5es.  

•  Iden5fy  current  and  pending  poli5cal,  legisla5ve  and  regulatory  developments  that  may  impact  the  future  state  of  public  safety  informa5on  and  communica5ons  technology  (ICT).  

•  Advise  the  present  and  future  trends/needs  of  the  community.
