Public Safety
Public safety agencies operate under a mandate to protect citizens, property and communities from both natural disasters and man-made emergencies. Increases in population density drive up incident and crime rates, creating a need for proactive policing and prevention strategies.
Whether you are an incident commander or a first responder, seconds matter in making critical decisions that can impact lives during an emergency situation. Reducing the damage from natural disasters and man-made emergencies requires good planning and preparedness, which depends on access to accurate and timely information.
GIS technology has become the backbone of our team's operations. With Esri Canada's solution, we have increased the speed, quality and efficiency of our mapping services. This has raised our profile within the organization as an important support service, enabling our police and civil servants to act quickly and effectively on public safety concerns.

A Complete Public Safety Enterprise GIS Solution
Our solutions integrate location-based information with public safety applications so that users can organize a vast amount of complex data into a common operational picture for quick, effective decision making. This information can then be used to forecast trends, prevent emergencies, reduce consequences, improve situational awareness and encourage a quick recovery.
Our solutions can be applied to all four stages of the emergency management cycle including – mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. They provide integrated applications for presenting and analyzing information in support of all public safety sectors, including:
- Emergency Management – Monitor and respond to events, track resources, conduct damage assessment, prepare status reports and create situational awareness
- Emergency Response – Respond quickly and effectively through integration with E-911, Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems and Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) technology
- Policing and Law Enforcement – Turn information into actionable intelligence to map crime patterns, support field investigations, select observation points and make critcal decisions
- Fire Protection and Wildfire Management – Efficiently deploy firefighting resources when and where needed through timely access to location-based information
- National Security – Create a shared environment for federal, provincial and municipal governments to manage and exchange vast amounts of information about threats and alerts
- Critical Infrastructure Protection – Model, simulate and assess risks to critical infrastructure for emergency assessment, preparation, response and recovery
- Search and Rescue – Improve SAR operations by integrating behavioural patterns, probability theories, terrain analysis, 3D modeling, search areas allocation, GPS tracking and asset management
- Mobile Public Safety – Collect field data and gain access to street maps, home addresses, traffic flows, floor plans, imagery, videos and other valuable information while on the road
