VSBLTY’s advanced technology will provide critical data such as immediate weapons detection, persons of interest (POI) facial recognition that identifies sworn officers from suspects, victims and bystanders, and license plate recognition at crime sites. VSBLTY is edge-based and permits multi-tasking that is not dependent on the cloud or an internet connection. With this partnership, first responders will have access to this life-saving data via the RapidSOS Platform, enabling better data-driven decision-making.
Beyond accurate incident location information, RapidSOS also supports the sharing of emergency intelligence data such as caller health and medical information, connected building and alarm data, and more to increase the amount of information first responders can obtain during an incident. This rich data empowers faster, more effective emergency response and provides first responders with the critical information needed to protect lives.
“We’re united in our commitment to empower safer, stronger communities with intelligent, data-driven emergency response worldwide,” said Jessica Reed, Vice President of Strategy and Global Partners at RapidSOS. “Together with our RapidSOS Ready partners like VSBLTY, we’re providing people with an added layer of safety and security and supporting our heroic first responders in saving millions of lives annually.”
VSBLTY Co-founder & CEO Jay Hutton said, “VSBLTY is fully integrated with smart buildings – so that if weapons are detected, buildings can go to immediate lockdown. Through this partnership, Emergency Communication Centers, local law enforcement, and on-site security will directly receive critical information to verify and act upon alerts,” Hutton said. “Together, we are making data more intelligent and actionable, and together we are helping to protect lives and empower safer, smarter communities,” Hutton concluded.
The RapidSOS and VSBLTY solution is expected to launch Summer 2021 and will then become available to Emergency Communications Centers in the U.S.
