- Certified systems securely store and search evidentiary video and audio in a FedRAMP High and CJIS-compliant cloud environment, enhancing transparency and operational efficiency for law enforcement.
- Both technologies can leverage Motorola Solutions’ Assist AI for policy queries, live translations, multi-source data cross-referencing, and automated redaction—reducing redaction time from 35 hours to one hour.
- Motorola Solutions launched Assist Suites, a portfolio of AI solutions that synthesize 911 audio, camera footage and radio transcripts into a unified intelligence thread to accelerate emergency response.
- The Dispatcher Assist Suite provides real-time call transcription, translation, keyword highlighting (e.g., “gun,” “heart attack”) and automates triage of non-emergency calls (≈65% of call volume) to streamline 911 operations.
- The Responder Assist Suite enables voice-activated situational queries, automatic evidence tagging, redaction, and its Narrative Assist tool cuts police report writing from one hour to 15 minutes and video redaction from 35 hours to one hour.
- Agencies can subscribe on a simplified per-user, per-month basis, addressing data overload and critical personnel shortages in public safety.
