The first moments of a 911 call often contain the most valuable context, yet much of that information never leaves the call center in time to support real-time decision-making on the scene. Early audio cues, caller descriptions and location details can help RTCC teams, field supervisors and drone units understand what they are responding to, but today those insights are often delayed or lost.
This session brings together leaders from Prepared, Fusus (now part of Axon) and Skydio to discuss how 911 data can move into the real-time operations environment in near real time. We will explore what information is missing today, why those gaps matter for responder safety and how call for service context can strengthen coordination during the first 120 seconds of an incident.
You will learn:
- The 911 data that does not make it out of the call center today and why that creates blind spots across dispatch, RTCC and field response.
- How caller audio, location details and early descriptions can surface in near real time to support clearer decision-making.
- Practical examples of how earlier context improves situational clarity, supports safer on-scene decisions and enables more effective aerial support.
- How Prepared, Fusus and Skydio each play a role in moving early intelligence into real-time response workflows.
