Cities everywhere are growing at a rapid pace. With that, so are the technologies that public safety agencies use to keep people safe and urban landscapes running smoothly. A report done by Statistica suggests that revenue is expected to grow by 13.3% from 2023 to 2028, resulting in a market volume of US $165.80 billion by 2028.
Even with all these technological investments, some municipal officials and agencies are still struggling to move public safety and smart city initiatives forward. Their challenges often stem from a few common trends: data overload, demand for transparency, and departmental silos.
As more devices are added to a network, more public safety agencies are inundated with data. Trying to make sense of the information not only slows emergency response but also limits a city’s ability to spot issues or patterns and make changes that can positively impact their communities
