Citizen Transparency and Communication

Data has become more mobile than any time in history. Moving and sharing data is faster, easier and cheaper. Enabling constituents to access and view public data provides transparency and safety. Knowing where and how public assets are used builds trust that all communities are served equally.

Why do you need Citizen Insights?

 

Increase trust

Build trust and improve transparency with a simple, powerful service that requires no extra effort from your busy staff. Share metrics for proof of service and deliver first-rate service to your customers.

Stay in Control

Providing your constituents with information through a public portal helps keep them informed and safer. It also reduces the number of inquiries your team may need to respond to, reducing stress.  You can control exactly what the public sees on the Citizen Insights map. For example, you can choose to show which streets are covered, but keep specifics of your operation for internal use only.

Reducing Inquiries Reduces Costs

Free up your contact centers and cut costs related to inquiries. Instead, point the public to Citizen Insights, where they can access valuable, up-to-date data to keep them informed and help them stay safe.

Easily Integrated and Embedded

Citizen Insights was designed for government. Deliver it in the manner that best suits your needs and meets your agency 511 initiatives. Use a turnkey, off-the-shelf website, or an iframe embedded link that can be integrated into your existing agency website.

Partner Integrations

Open APIs bring critical citizen safety data together in new ways. Combining vehicle tracking, asset tracking, weather, help requests and public notification systems can save lives and ease suffering with improved efficiencies.

How can telematics technology help improve police and emergency responder fleet management?

Telematics technology can help keep your community safe. We have solutions at Geotab that can help you utilize your fleet’s data for operational insight based on actual movements, monitor driver and public safety with behavior reporting and coaching, plan optimal routes to prevent congestion and save money.

How can police fleet management improve driver safety?
When your fleet cars are not responding to emergencies, they are driving in ordinary traffic alongside other cars. This means that keeping an eye on speeding, harsh braking and the use of seat belts is critical for fleet and public safety. To set a positive example for the communities you assist, keep an eye on these measures. Set custom rules to disregard speeding alerts and integrate with lights and sirens.
What is federal police fleet management?
When your fleet of police vehicles is not actively responding to emergencies, they are driving in ordinary traffic alongside other cars. This means that keeping an eye on speeding, harsh braking and the use of seat belts is critical for fleet and public safety. To set a positive example for the communities your police unit assists, it is important to monitor these behaviours. Set custom rules to disregard speeding alerts when integrated lightbars and sirens are activated.
What are the advantages of using a tracker for a police or first response fleet?

Geotab GO devices and the MyGeotab platform can help police (or other first responder) vehicle dispatchers to identify the closest vehicle to a trauma or crime scene for the fastest possible response time.

Emergency services dispatchers need situational awareness to better allocate resources and protect drivers. With Geotab, emergency service resources can coordinate and communicate with each other quickly and easily, using accurate, near real-time data. Whether at the municipal, state or federal level, the integration of telematics data can be pivotal for the office of emergency response and boost the collaboration between first responders on duty.

Collisions and vehicles rendered inactive can be detected instantly. As such, additional personnel can be sent to assist an officer, EMT, or fire rescue team that needs assistance. Vehicle maintenance requirements can help many first responder teams to minimize their fleet vehicle down-time by identifying maintenance requirements and diagnosing minor mechanical issues before they become serious problems.
