Around the nation, police and public safety departments are responsible for keeping citizens safe, from responding to natural disasters to monitoring city streets and neighborhoods. At the same time, law enforcement leaders are being asked to transform their operations to be more responsive and effective. Public safety leaders across the country are taking steps to make their organizations more efficient and transparent and are using Microsoft technologies to achieve those goals.<\/p>\n
Miami-Dade County is a perfect example. Driven by a desire to foster trust with its diverse community, the Miami-Dade Police Department embarked on an ambitious initiative to transform its operations. It launched two new solutions that are in use today: VIEVU body-worn cameras for officers and a new Community on Patrol (COP) app, both powered by cloud technology from Microsoft. To learn more about these solutions and how they have transformed the way officers engage with the community and enhance the public trust, check out this Microsoft Transform blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n As more and more departments evaluate their technology needs, they need to carefully evaluate whether their cloud provider meets proper standards for security. One top concern for public safety agencies across the U.S. is whether a cloud platform meets the applicable requirements of the FBI\u2019s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy, which enables departments to access, transmit or store any of the FBI\u2019s criminal justice information.<\/p>\n Microsoft is committed to providing justice and public safety organizations with cloud services they can trust and is uniquely equipped to help them become CJIS compliant. Over the past few months we have continued our commitment in this area. Last week, Microsoft signed a CJIS agreement with Oregon<\/a>, making it the 23rd state to give its police access to Microsoft Azure Government. Microsoft has more CJIS agreements than any other hyper-scale cloud provider.<\/p>\n With the new challenges law enforcement is confronted with in its daily responsibility of protecting people, trust and technology are uniting as important standards for selecting solutions to advance the effectiveness of public safety.
