When crisis hits, no single agency can go it alone. Effective response demands seamless coordination between law enforcement, fire, EMS and emergency management. Yet too often, fragmented systems and communication gaps slow down decision-making, complicate command structures and put both responders and communities at greater risk.

Drawing on real-world experience, Jay Draisin, Chief Product Officer with LeoSight, and Scott Smith, former Deputy Team Commander of the Orlando Police SWAT Team discuss strategies for strengthening situational awareness, overcoming communication gaps and enabling multi-discipline teams to respond with clarity and confidence when it matters most.
