Andy knows that by working closely with other emergency services agencies, he can do his job better. Protecting the community is the primary focus of emergency services personnel, and extends in all aspects of public safety, from planning and preparedness through to emergency situations.

Location intelligence enables these agencies to form partnerships and collaborate to support the work each agency undertakes, as well as to share data for planning and recovery work.
