Just ask ViQi
Assist provides help where and when you need it. For personnel in the field, that is often "away from my vehicle" and "in the middle of an incident". When typing is not an option, just ask ViQi®. ViQi can help with radio adjustments, database checks, on-scene translation, location information and much more. She is here to Assist.
“ViQi, tag this video as speeding.”
Using the new SVX video remote speaker microphone to capture incident video? Just press the ViQi button on the RSM and ask her to tag the video with the appropriate incident type. Once uploaded, the related retention period is automatically applied.
“ViQi, look up Texas plate Victor Alpha Kilo 117.”
Calling Dispatch for database checks adds to their workload. Going back to your vehicle to check yourself is distracting and adds to the duration of the incident. ViQi can help. Just give her the license plate, VIN or driver’s license information and she will look it up for you.
“ViQi, where am I?”
Occasionally, you may find yourself in unfamiliar surroundings. Apprehending a suspect after a long foot pursuit. Covering a new beat on the other side of the city. If you look around and realize you don’t know where you are, don’t worry. ViQi knows. Just ask her.
“ViQi, change zone to LOCAL, channel to TAC ONE.”
APX radios are known for their human-centered design, including knob designs that help users find, identify and adjust radio settings without taking their eyes off the situation. Now it’s even easier - just key up and ask ViQi to make the necessary changes.
Having all the locations in one place, now all the call taker has to do is click which is the correct location. You’re not having to look for everything. It’s all right there. This is a huge win for call takers.

Manager, Network and Security, Lee County (FL)
It helps them decide what to pay attention to or even which call to listen to. A quick glance and they can see which calls are emergency, and whether a call involves a knife, a gun, or is happening at a school.
Lt. Jennifer Reidy
9-1-1 Director, Howard Co PD, MD, and now Emergency Comms Director, Montgomery County PD, MD
Transcription allows them to focus more on interacting with 9-1-1 callers and coordinating responses rather than having to manually enter information.
Jerel Frazier
Program Coordinator for the State of Arizona
I’m learning that people are recognizing how intuitive the technology is – the transcription, the cameras, the drones and how they work together to help us respond more quickly.

FAQs about AI for public safety
AI can play a crucial role in improving public safety, as AI saves time and time saves lives. Public safety is often "data-rich but insight-poor." AI can help bridge this gap by quickly synthesizing vast amounts of raw data — like 911 audio, radio traffic and video feeds — into insights public safety agencies can act upon. This helps teams identify threats often before they escalate, automate the burden of administrative reporting and get critical information to the field in seconds, not minutes. Contact an expert
