      As the year comes to a close, it’s certainly been a busy one for the Think Public Safety blog. Big thanks to the 14 authors that have contributed over 31 new posts this year. I hope you have found them interesting. We have a firm readership with 37000 views in total of this year's posts so far.

      I’d like to take this opportunity to share 10 of the most popular blog posts we’ve had as well as some of the key videos and resources they feature...

      1. Top of the blogs, with over 2500 views is Danielle Doo’s post on Proven Design for Public Safety - When we are designing mission-critical equipment we really do listen to our customers.
