Public Safety
Six operations,
one platform
A dock launch, a barricade, a search, an incident that runs for hours, the daily call, and the crowd at a big event. Each one is the same platform used differently, not a different product.
01 · Drone First Response
A drone as the first responder, and a room as the first briefing
A drone launches on the call and is over the address before the first unit gets there.
The drone reaches the address first and the room briefs every unit.
- TodayThe scene is seen late.→With VOTIXThe drone gets there first.
- TodayUnits drive on a description.→With VOTIXThe unit drives in knowing the approach.
- TodayThe neighboring agency is not on it.→With VOTIXThe neighbor joins the same room.
- TodayThe dock sits in another tool.→With VOTIXDock, video, and approval on one login.
How a call runs
Drone First Response, step by step.
The Call
What the response requires
Limited officers, constrained budgets, dwindling resources, and extended response times demand a fresh perspective supported by technology. VOTIX provides enhanced situational awareness and real-time insights into where the emergency is happening, with a rapid visual presence at the heart of the emergency site. Teams assess the emergency with drones before they dispatch a tailored response, and tell genuine emergencies from false alarms.
02 · Tactical Operations
The team on scene does not have to spare a pilot
A barricade, a negotiation, a warrant service, an officer needing assistance.
Negotiators and tactical teams on one live picture.
- TodayThe picture travels by radio.→With VOTIXNegotiator and tactical team on one picture.
- TodayVideo in one tool, map in another.→With VOTIXOne shared map.
- TodayA second drone needs a second pilot.→With VOTIXFlown from the browser.
- TodayBackup arrives blind.→With VOTIXBackup arrives briefed.
The Call
What the response requires
Situational awareness is the ability to understand and predict what is happening in the immediate environment surrounding an operation, and to use that understanding to make informed decisions. Drone technologies assist tactical teams and deployment planners in rapidly assessing damage and needs, prioritizing, designating, informing, and helping teams respond better to critical events.
03 · Search & Rescue
“He ran into the trees” is not a starting point, but a pin is
A missing person, a lost hiker, a water search, an area search.
Every crew starts at the pin with live video from above.
- TodayThe last known position is a sentence.→With VOTIXIt is a pin.
- TodayGround gets covered twice.→With VOTIXEvery crew starts at the mark.
- TodayLate video spends daylight.→With VOTIXLive enough to redirect a crew.
- TodayMutual aid waits for accounts.→With VOTIXMutual aid joins on a link.
The Call
What the response requires
In VOTIX it is a Situation Room with a shared map at the center, the live picture from whatever the team already flies, and a record of which ground was covered.
04 · Major Incidents
One room for the hours a major incident actually lasts
A large fire, a storm, a civil disturbance: events that run for hours and across more than one scene.
One room for every agency, for as long as the incident runs.
- TodayEvery organization brings its own screen.→With VOTIXEvery source on one picture.
- TodayThe EOC is a few seconds behind.→With VOTIXThe walls get the live picture.
- TodayPartners can't get accounts fast enough.→With VOTIXGuests join on a link.
- TodayThe marks live on a whiteboard.→With VOTIXThe marks live on the shared map.
The Call
What the response requires
In VOTIX it is a Situation Room that opens when the incident is declared and stays open.
05 · Emergency Response
Size-up before the apparatus arrives
The daily call: a working fire, a medical, a hazmat watch.
Size-up from the air before the apparatus arrives.
- TodayThe crew commits on a radio size-up.→With VOTIXThe crew commits on a picture.
- TodayThe ambulance can't see its approach.→With VOTIXThe approach is on the picture.
- TodayNobody can drop a collapse zone.→With VOTIXCollapse zones on the shared map.
- TodayA fire seen late is a different fire.→With VOTIXEngine, ambulance, and desk see it live.
The Call
What the response requires
Firefighters, police officers, and paramedics rely on situational awareness to respond to emergencies quickly and effectively. Drones have become an essential instrument to rapidly gain access to unique visualization and inspection of emergency areas. Situational awareness enhanced with drone software like VOTIX reduces delayed response times, inadequate resource allocation, and other problems compromising emergency services’ effectiveness.
06 · Events
Everyone running the event, on the same picture
A stadium match, a concert, or the Fourth of July draws a crowd, and public safety is there to keep it from becoming an incident.
Every agency at the event on the same live picture.
- TodayEach team runs the event from its own place.→With VOTIXOne room for the whole event.
- TodayWhat one post sees reaches the next as a sentence.→With VOTIXThe screens show the air.
- TodayPartner agencies arrive with their own radio.→With VOTIXThey join on a link.
- TodayThe room gets built on the day.→With VOTIXReady before it starts.
The Call
What the response requires
Public safety is on site for hours, with more than one agency and more than one post. In VOTIX they share one room, one live picture, and one map, with partner agencies on a link and Fly when there is air. No drones in the plan? Start with the room. Fly joins in the same suite.
