Ventura, Calif. Police Department Goes Live with Motorola PremierOne(TM) for
Public Safety Applications Solution
First Production Use of PremierOne Computer-Aided Dispatch and PremierOne
Mobile
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- APCO 2009 (Booth 824) --
Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced the first production use of the
next generation of PremierOne(TM) Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) and PremierOne
Mobile application solutions by the City of Ventura, Calif. for their public
safety applications for increased real-time collaboration. Ventura Police
Department replaced its stand-alone public safety applications and now has the
ability to access and share real-time, critical information both in the field
and at the command center to protect and serve the citizens in Ventura. The
department has upgraded to this integrated system for improvements in several
areas including enhanced situational awareness and safety, efficient resource
allocation, dispatch flexibility and accurate data application and trend
analyses.
"It is critical that our officers get the information that they need the most
from dispatchers to improve upon the safety and quality of life for our
residents," said, Lt. David Wilson, Ventura Police Department. "Motorola's
PremierOne CAD brings increased accuracy to our operations."
PremierOne was developed from a unique alliance between Motorola and
Microsoft(R) and designed on Microsoft.NET technology. The common platform
also utilizes Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), standardizing the way
information is shared, accessed and delivered to public safety personnel
regardless of jurisdictional boundaries or agencies.
"Motorola, a key Microsoft Citizen Safety Architecture partner, sets a new
standard for operational effectiveness. We believe PremierOne, built on the
Microsoft platform used by so many public safety customers around the world,
significantly advances the way responders access and communicate the critical
information needed to saves lives," said Tim Bloechl, Managing Director,
Worldwide Public Safety and National Security, Microsoft.
The enhanced level of information offered by the new PremierOne platform
increases the presence of officers in the field. Officers no longer need to
return to their station for information, rather they can access a wide range
of information from their vehicle and stay focused on protecting their
community.
"PremierOne delivers a new level of application intelligence for enhanced
safety and service offering a real-time view of the city of Ventura to the
police department," said Darren McQueen, Motorola vice president and general
manager, Applications and Broadband Solutions. "Additionally, in these times
of tight budget constraints, public safety departments now have an upgrade
path for their CAD and Mobile needs that includes the benefit of consolidating
their solution platforms."
"PremierOne is as important to an officer as his or her sidearm. I would not
send an officer to a call without a gun or the capabilities and critical
information this system provides. The system clearly will help save lives,"
Lt. Wilson predicted.
