In an emergency situation, Americans are taught to call 9-1-1. The standardized emergency number has a rather short history, but has quickly become the model of what to do when you need help. With a quick call, you can be sure a team will be dispatched to your location and provide you with whatever type of help you need, whether it be medical aid or law enforcement. When you or your loved ones are in trouble, the first instinct is to call 9-1-1, but the truth is, there’s a lot more going on behind that simple call than you may be aware of.

KOVA’s public safety solutions are installed in many emergency call centers, designed specifically with your safety and comfort in mind. From call recording software to information security management, KOVA has designed its software programs to help government, public and private organizations be as effective as possible in their emergency responses.

PSIM

PSIM, or physical security information management, is an emergency management software program that allows business to effectively manage systems, reduce costs and increase the security of their information. Various system operators can securely share information, which facilitates their ability to collaborate and improve operations. If you are calling 9-1-1, feeling endangered by a situation that you want to remain private. PSIM will help to ensure that the information you provide over the phone remains secure.

Audiolog

Another public safety software program, Audiolog is a multi-media recording system designed for use as a stand-alone recorder, which allows important data to be reviewed in the field, as well as inside of the office. For emergency situations, this means that the dispatchers will have all information available to them, no matter where they are; possibly reducing their response time.
