The challenge

SREC911 fields over 500,000 calls annually, with approximately half being non-emergency. This volume places a consistent burden on call takers, which escalates dramatically on occasions like the Fourth of July. In an era of instant gratification, the expectation of an immediate response creates significant friction when 911 callers experience delays.

The solution

Spokane Regional Emergency Communications implemented Motorola Solutions' AppArmor platform, a tailored mobile application that streamlined non-emergency reporting, improved direct access to public resources and reduced 911 call volumes. The solution put community safety tools into the hands of Spokane County residents, resulting in improved efficiency and expanded public engagement.
