EMS, fire, and police agencies have a wide range of incoming and outgoing data points to manage. Technology has evolved to provide these agencies with the ability to send, receive, and most importantly act on real-time data. With up-to-the-minute tracking of personnel, equipment, and other data, public safety departments are better equipped to make important decisions in improving the effectiveness of their agency.
Take a look at how using data in the decision-making process can benefit your department.

Data’s Role in Decision-Making
When you manage a department within the public safety sector, it’s vital that the decisions you make are geared towards improvement. Finding weaknesses or areas that need improvement among your department is simplified when you track and analyze your data efficiently.
Sometimes a noticeable trend in the data will make the necessity for improvement very obvious, while other times you may need to assess and analyze in more depth before using data alone to make significant changes or adjustments in a certain area. Either way, you’ll have data there to support your choices and give you the confidence you need to make important decisions.
