Types of Information Exchanged

Data Description

Almost all (89%) organizations are sharing voice Almost three quarters of organizations report sharing CAD data (at the national level, it was 65%) Similar to the national level, 21% of organizations report sharing video

Cybersecurity - Planning

Data Description

More than half of respondents (55%) do not incorporate the listed cybersecurity measures into their cybersecurity planning (46% report at the national level)

30% indicate having incident response plans, policies and capabilities 25% have a mitigation strategy in place

Conceptual Interoperability Model

6

Presentation Layer: Distributes to public safety end users integrated data relevant to their Mission, includes information display and

analysis tools that are interoperable and can be used regardless of end user application

Integration Layer: Aggregates and manipulates data to make it standardized, interoperable, and consumable regardless of end user application

Data Layer: Information Content, includes video, voice, databases, sensors, maps, HAZMAT lists and protocols, etc., which must be made available by Content owners

Transport network: disparate data

Transport network: consumable data

Identify categories of information required by public safety leadership to improve the decision-making process.

Identify information pathways from which such requirements can be accessed.

Identify available and desired technologies which can aid in acquiring, analyzing, disseminating, and displaying required information.

Consider creating “Playbooks” which encompass associated policies, procedures, and technologies

The use of text messaging proved to be effective for engagement and safety.

Information Technology staff set up and maintained communications equipment and cameras, enhancing situational awareness.

Information Technology support was requested in anticipation of internal issues. SME’s provided assistance with networking, hardware, software, and printing issues. GIS guidance and support was also provided.
