June 11th, 2019 - Pensacola, FL - SmartCOP, Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with RapidSOS, an emergency technology company that works with public safety partners to deliver life-saving emergency data from hundreds of millions of connected devices to 9-1-1 and first responders.
SmartCOP intends to integrate RapidSOS functionalities into the SmartCAD system so PSAPs using the system can receive accurate caller information from iPhones and Androids. We intend to display this location data within our mapping system as well, so the caller location is not only available to the CAD user but also to the mobile officer responding to the caller.
During an emergency, RapidSOS enables connected devices (wearables, smart home devices, smartphone, connected cars, etc.) to transmit rich data such as accurate location, medical and demographic data, car telematics data, and additional information directly into 9-1-1 systems nationwide.
For example, RapidSOS has partnered with Uber to keep mobile users on the road safe. If a user hits the panic button in the Uber app, the location of the call is captured and sent to RapidSOS and is updated as the user moves locations. This modern feature is also going to be integrated in the functionality of our SmartCAD and mapping systems.
Our overall goal with this partnership is to ultimately help conduce faster response times for first responders and help save more lives. This partnership is a part of our mission at SmartCOP - to constantly strive to provide more efficient software solutions for the public’s safety. Together, our companies can do just that, and we are both excited for the opportunities available to our customers due to our joining forces.
