The best solutions involve a much 

broader approach that utilizes public 

private partnerships and non-profit 

partnerships

Police & Fire & __________?

Broad Approach

Definitive and definable outcome data 

are being used to inform decisions & 

are being shared among agencies

What is happening to the patient

Definable Outcomes

Relationship building and information 

sharing that leads to defined roles for 

all agencies and stakeholders

Agency and political integration

2019... What’s happening around us

11

• The scale of events (speed, size, tempo) requires 

decentralized decisions across our organizations

• Intelligence is useless if leader does not receive it, understand 

it, or believe it

• Technology is not the mission... the mission is the mission

and technology is one of our tools

Public Safety Software Systems – Get ready, lots of 

platforms, many applications

How many software systems do you have in your fire department? How 

many were there 15 years ago? How many will you eval in 2019?
