PublicEye combines 911-call information with situational awareness information and delivers it on a mobile phone or tablet through an easy to use map based user interface.

Testimonials

"An important aspect of a fire department is the ability to celebrate your traditions and still maintain the idea of innovation. PublicEye^®, for us, is the most recent innovation we’ve had. It’s a technology that’s come at the right time."

Chief AchillesPortsmouth Fire

"With the iPad…[officers are] getting the information much quicker than they used to. This information is vital to the decisions they make so they can make fast, reliable, quick decisions at a moment’s notice."

Chief LavaleeLowell Police

"Anything that they needed to do remotely was all done from the device running through the PublicEye software. So this gave us an entire new dimension for the Boston Marathon that we never had before."

Officer WilderBrookline Police

"Our engine can move out, supported by turn-by-turn directions after just one touch on the 911 call object on the map. Before we get there, we can even see photos and videos of the fire Tweeted by the residents and the neighbors. I cannot overemphasize the value of having another jurisdiction’s information in the hands of our first responders."

"Part of the problem as chiefs is, were not in the building 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. So having this resource available to us, in a nice small package that’s very easily accessible, is crucial to us. It’s something that I think is going to be beneficial to the fire service as we move forward in technology."

PublicEye Supports ESRI Maps

Not just for police, fire and EMS anymore

PublicEye now supports ESRI maps. This means that the cities can use maps customized by their GIS departments instead of the mobile OS supplied maps such as the Apple Maps.

PublicEye supports multiple ESRI maps that can be dynamically loaded into their phones or tablets by the first responders on an as needed basis. For example, in the case of a subway fire, a map of the city’s subway system can be loaded. This map could show nearest entry points, underground water resources, etc.

ESRI support is yet another feature that makes PublicEye useful to a whole new class of city workers beyond the traditional police, fire and EMS. Now the GIS, traffic enforcement, public works and other departments can benefit from easy access to maps they need in the field.

Pelham FD Launches PublicEye ^® on Toughbook Computers

The fire department in Pelham, NH has deployed PublicEye to their fleet of Toughbook laptops, bringing new features to their previously underutilized devices. "We've gone from a system that was worth its weight in gold, to a system that now functions worth its weight in gold!"

Superintendent Bill Taylor of the Lowell Police Department recently sat down with us to discuss his experiences using PublicEye. Learn why he says, "I have come to rely on the PublicEye platform daily. It’s really been a companion to me, and allows me, as the Police Chief, to very effectively monitor my organization – wherever I happen to be."

StateTech Magazine profiled three government agencies using mobile technology to enhance their work. Craig Withycombe of the Lowell PD is featured, sharing the benefits of PublicEye^® for a mobile police force. “Our officers want iPads because they allow them to be much more mobile,” he says.

A small Rhode Island town is shaking up their approach to public safety. In an article in the Valley Breeze, The Smithfield Fire Department discusses their decision to upgrade to iPads equipped with PublicEye. “[PublicEye] has come a long way in helping public safety,” said Fire Chief Robert Seltzer.

Multijurisdictional Support and PublicEye

Multijurisdictional support is one of PublicEye's exclusive features. We interviewed Scott Wiggin, Chief of Bedford FD and Mark Boynton, Chief of Amherst FD. These two New Hampshire towns share a border, and both have implemented PublicEye on their phones and tablets.

The Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, the US Army, the National Guard, and emergency responders came to New Hampshire to participate in one of the largest emergency exercises of its kind – and PublicEye was there providing video streaming and communications support.

A CITEWorld article examines why the Bedford Fire Department in NH chose to update their aging technology with iPads armed with PublicEye. "I can't stress how much it has made things much more efficient for the fire department to do it this way," said Lt. Lambert of Bedford.
