911 gets a call - there’s a critical emergency at the local elementary school. You’ve never been there. You’re told to go to the gym. It’s near the art room. By the west stairwell. But without a map, where do you start? That’s the reality for many first responders and that’s exactly why our partners at Critical Response Group created detailed indoor school floor plans that integrate directly into RapidDeploy’s Radius Mapping and Lightning platforms. These Collaborative Response Graphics give responders the power to pinpoint exactly where they need to go—even in buildings they’ve never stepped foot in. When RapidDeploy and CRG technologies come together, first responders have access to: 📍 Real-time caller location 📍 Live responder tracking 📍 Verified building layouts With over 20,000 K-12 schools mapped, this partnership is helping agencies across the country respond faster, smarter, and more confidently. 🎥 Watch the video to see how it works. #PublicSafety #SchoolSafety #RapidDeploy #CRG #Lightning #Radius #911Tech #SituationalAwareness #PartneringForGood #FirstResponders #PublicSafety #NG911 #Interoperability #RapidDeploy #Lightning #RadiusMapping #EveryMomentMatters #missionmatters #telecommunicator #MotorolaSolutions #Solvingforsafer #govtech

Honoring our Q4 2025 Superstar Award Recipients! Last week, we had the privilege of awarding four courageous telecommunicators from Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 1, Alisha Cooper, Kim Newsome, Alaina Ramage, and Chad Spain, with our RapidDeploy Superstar Award. Today, we share more about their heroic efforts with you. On March 7, 2025, telecommunicators at KSP Post 1 received numerous silent phone calls from a pregnant female who was unable to verbally communicate that she was in the middle of a high-risk, domestic violence incident, and was trapped in a moving vehicle with her assailant. Combining quick thinking with RapidDeploy’s advanced NG911 technology, telecommunicators were able to establish contact with the caller via SMS chat, gain a precise location, and ultimately bring the caller and her unborn child to safety. This is a powerful reminder that the expert skills of telecommunicators, amplified by modern NG911 tools, are what make the difference in a successful emergency response. 📖Read our blog post to learn more about the KSP Post 1 emergency response: https://lnkd.in/gdvyqWJr 🎥Watch the ceremony video to see these telecommunicators recognized for their efforts. #PublicSafety #NG911 #Interoperability #RapidDeploy #DataSharing #Lightning #RadiusMapping #California911 #EveryMomentMatters #missionmatters #telecommunicator #MotorolaSolutions #Solvingforsafer #govtech

📱 Approximately 80–85% of all 911 calls are placed from wireless phones. But mobile doesn’t always mean locatable—unless you have the right tools. In Arizona, telecommunicators used RapidDeploy’s Radius Mapping feature, RapidLocate, to find callers fast in two critical moments: 🚨 A Phoenix Fire Department telecommunicator pinpointed an ATV crash victim in remote desert terrain—avoiding a costly helicopter launch. 🚨 A Salt River PD telecommunicator tracked a moving vehicle during a domestic abuse call—without the caller ever speaking a word. 🎥 Watch the Arizona Save Stories video, where RapidLocate helps telecommunicators turn uncertainty into action and minutes into moments that helps save lives with RapidDeploy. #RapidDeploy #RapidLocate #RadiusMapping #PublicSafety #911 #Telecommunicators #NextGen911 #EmergencyResponse #ArizonaSaves #EveryMomentMatters #missionmatters #telecommunicator #MotorolaSolutions #Solvingforsafer #govtech  #Arizona911 #ArizonaPublicSafety #ArizonaNENA/APCO

Visual context can change the entire trajectory of an emergency response. Historically, though, the technical barriers to sharing that context — like complex integrations and permission prompts — cost precious time in a crisis. Today, Motorola Solutions and Google are helping dismantle those barriers by allowing Android users to share live video with 911 call handers with a simple click of a button. We’ve replaced the old multi-step process with a single confirmation prompt, allowing Android users to stream encrypted live video to call handlers within seconds of connecting the call. Livestreams feed directly into Motorola Solutions’ VESTA 911 and VESTA NXT software so the call handler can provide the caller with better real-time coaching in the moment. The video can then be forwarded via mobile app to police, fire or EMS units en route, helping them arrive with better intelligence, ready to act. We’re also prioritizing user privacy and responder well-being, allowing call handlers to blur and unblur incoming video feeds and giving users control to stop sharing video at any time without affecting the 911 call audio connection. With our 911 command center software supporting approximately 60% of North America’s PSAPs, this is a scalable leap forward in how we equip call handlers with the intelligence they need — while helping enable even more life-saving actions. #MotorolaSolutions #Google #Android #PublicSafety #EmergencyResponse #SolvingForSafer
