Hexagon’s Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial division has announced that North Wales Police will deploy Hexagon’s next-generation public safety solutions in the cloud. Hosted in Microsoft Azure, HxGN OnCall Dispatch and field mobility solutions will provide advanced call-taking and dispatch capabilities to link callers, dispatchers, managers and field officers for faster, more effective response. HxGN OnCall Analytics will enable data-driven policing by harnessing real-time and historical data for resource optimisation and informed decision-making.
The North Wales Police control room averages more than 1100 contacts per day and annually manages 80,000 emergency 999 calls, 250,000 non-emergency calls, 18,000 webchats and nearly 60,000 emails. Hexagon’s next-generation solutions will provide the control room with a seamless, user-focused service with an expanded range of channels for engaging with the public, including SMS, multimedia and more. Additionally, advanced analysis of operational data will enable more effective, efficient and informed use of resources.
Deploying SaaS versions of the HxGN OnCall portfolio will simplify system set-up, administration and maintenance, helping to reduce costs, optimise efficiency and increase focus on pertinent agency tasks. As a managed service, the technology will always be up to date, providing North Wales Police with the latest innovations and security updates.
