Rave Mobile Safety (Rave), the critical communication and collaboration platform customers count on when it matters most, releases its 2022 Public Safety Trends Survey results. The findings show that emergency responders—firefighters, EMTs, police officers, emergency managers, security professionals, and 9-1-1 dispatchers—are experiencing increased challenges and workloads at their jobs and are in need of better tools and resources to improve response efforts.
While the public health and safety needs of communities are continually evolving, new COVID-19 variants, an increase in acts of violence, and the public perception of law enforcement and first responders are the latest challenges public safety professionals are managing while working to protect their communities. Resources such as budget and staffing are not keeping pace, and new strategies are needed to fill the gap.
