Critical Event Management for Emergency Responders

Excellent emergency response:
Demands intelligence, coordination and timely communication

First responders play a crucial role in managing critical events, such as natural disasters, accidents, and public emergencies. It is essential that they are well-prepared and follow established protocols to effectively respond to these situations.

Along with response is the sharing of intelligence among emergency responders as well as key stakeholder groups to help inform of up-and-coming events, incidents and trends such as protests and business crime.

SYNAPSE provides the ability to capture and consolidate intelligence from the field and other sources, and communicate across disparate groups of stakeholders in a professional, secure and consistent manner. It helps responders understand the situation, make informed decisions, and take appropriate actions during an emergency or critical event.

Success stories

"This unique and innovative initiative is one that I have always been supportive of since its inception, so it is excellent news to see the next stage unfold. It is vital in this day and age that we further develop our already excellent private/public partnership collaborations, and the CSC platform will bring many additional ‘real time’ benefits to further enhance the safety of all who visit, live and work in the City of London. With many thousands of additional security personnel to call upon in support of our officers this is going to be a real game changer in how we can respond to an incident."

City of London Police
- Commissioner

Providing security incident management, officer welfare and control of health and safety events across all stations. Providing a central data repository for analysis and the ability to export data enables the Force to understand their data, vulnerabilities and make informed decisions. ‘Zinc has had positive reviews from users, with ease of use being one of the most common bits of feedback’.

Leicestershire Fire & Rescue
- Health & Safety Team

This new comms platform was a key part of our original strategy when founding the Council and I am delighted to see this vision now become a reality. The platform will allow us to share intelligence extremely quickly and allow the police to call on our support. This will help us work even closer in support of the City of London Police allowing our security officers to be even more effective in their role to help provide a safe and secure environment.

In collaboration with the NBCS, a unique feature within the SYNAPSE platform is ‘ONE TOUCH’ reporting that enables retailers to report business crime/incidents directly into the police via an integration with Niche RMS.

“This new retail crime reporting system is a welcome and bold move by Sussex Police. It is also an example of how effective partnership working can lead to proactive solutions for businesses with robust action taken against offenders. It will no doubt result in an increase in crime reports locally and I do not shy away from this. We need to paint a clearer picture of business crime and, once we have the evidence, it then cannot be ignored. It’s never the value of the goods being stolen that should be the only reason to respond. The impact upon our business community and our frontline shopworkers must be understood and acted on more effectively, especially as offenders are almost certainly committing offences elsewhere. In Sussex we are determined to show offenders that they will be held to account for their actions and to demonstrate to the public that we take these crimes seriously.”

CRITICAL EVENT MANAGEMENT
A library of best practices
Report, investigate, analyse.

Critical events can range in severity and type, from incidents like localised crime, travel disruption and protests through to major emergencies such as terrorism, fire and severe weather.

Effective management and preparedness are essential to ensure the safety of people and minimise impact. Synapse allows you to manage all types of events - big and small - have a look and scroll through some examples below:

FROM CHAOS TO CLARITY
Unified data is your key to
strategic success

A unified data source provides a 'single pane of glass' and enables the prioritisation of all safety and security events. This ensures proactive risk management and mitigation, reducing the likelihood of emergencies and their potential impact. Neglecting safety and security data provides increased vulnerabilities, and, in worst cases, catastrophic consequences.
