Public Safety

Public safety objectives include preserving life and minimizing damage to property. Public safety services include police, fire, and ambulance, and 911 emergency call centers. Effectiveness and timeliness of emergency call response is determined by the performance of the 911 contact centers and the organizations providing emergency services. In today’s demanding environment, effective planning, deployment, and performance of emergency services personnel and equipment is essential. Effective deployment of officers and equipment reduces response time and emergency incident rates (e.g. police patrols visibly reducing petty crime).

New generation workforce optimization technologies offered by the AWO Portal enable emergency services to meet these critical goals. The AWO Portal is ideal for 911 emergency call center staffing and scheduling, as well as deploying officers and equipment to minimize response time and heighten performance to deliver consistently across the entire system.
