Public Safety
Police departments and law enforcement agencies today must serve their communities in two overlapping worlds: the physical and the digital. As challenges evolve for police and law enforcement, new public safety technology solutions are helping those professionals serve, protect, and engage communities.
Empowering First Responders with Real-Time Data and Intelligence
The Oracle Public Safety Suite is a robust, all-in-one secure solution tailored to meet the evolving technology demands of today’s public safety agencies. It integrates every operational facet—from dispatch to in-field response—using Oracle’s wearable computer systems and vehicle video technology, ensuring real-time situational awareness and enhanced transparency. The suite simplifies data management through its records and jail management systems, providing a secure, seamless flow of information, all stored in the Oracle Cloud. By consolidating critical tools into a single, secure platform, Oracle empowers agencies to streamline case reporting, meet federal and state reporting standards, and improve overall operational efficiency.
Public safety technology
Public safety in the age of data and smart policing
Police and law enforcement agencies historically responded to crimes that have already been committed or have increased the number of officers assigned in an attempt to deter criminal activity.
Today, digital technologies allow policing to become both proactive and preventative, with a wealth of data available to help predict if, where, when, and how crimes take place. These new tools and techniques must be adopted where possible so crime can be anticipated and prevented.
Across the public safety landscape, reform movements and perceived and real policing dangers have affected recruitment. As the nature of crime and policing rapidly changes, tech-savvy talent is needed. Police agencies struggle to attract these digital native workers. Failure to connect with them can deprive agencies of talent able to use disruptive new technologies. Computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems provide seamless experiences from incident call to resolution, while also equipping responders with vital, real-time information in the field. CAD systems also can integrate with new records management systems (RMS), using information from other department technologies and data sources to automate records creation and management.
Public safety and community engagement
It’s more important than ever for governments to use a new approach to develop, engage, and deliver positive, community-empowered public safety experiences. This will mean a shift from the current single-sentinel approach to a collaborative one, relying on public engagement, discussion, and participation.
Today’s public safety ecosystem must encompass more than a “blue wall”. It should move beyond detached policing and law enforcement entities to include community outreach, communication, and engagement.
Secure, Accurate, Faster Response
It’s more important than ever for governments to adopt a new, more integrated approach to develop, engage, and deliver positive, community-empowered public safety experiences. This shift from a single-sentinel approach to a collaborative one relies on public engagement, discussion, and participation. Oracle’s unified public safety hardware and software suite's advanced technology can facilitate this shift, supporting seamless communication and data sharing between departments for more efficient and effective emergency responses.

Technology changing public safety
Police need to adopt a preventative approach over a reactive one to keep the public safe. As crime proliferates, new threats emerge every year. To stay ahead of crime trends, public safety agencies must anticipate and respond to such threats.
