UNDERSTANDING THE SITUATION
With the increase of urban violence in recent years, citizens in your city may no longer feel safe and therefore expect a better management of their public safety. As a city manager, you need to provide security for your citizens. It is indeed really complex, since it has to be executed in a way that citizens don’t feel spied on. Moreover, you need to ensure that actions will be taken in cases of any emergencies or danger. It is essential that you organize the logistical elements for all possible events. Technological solutions such as location sensors, security cameras, etc., can enable you to provide security for your city, but also to react rapidly when facing such events. At Dimonoff, we work together with public services in order to implement technological solutions for the security of your citizens.

BUSINESS CASES
Public Vehicles Location
Many calls are issued to your city’s public services during a day and it is sometimes hard to send the people closest to the call location. By adding sensors to your public service vehicles and having an interactive map of your city, you could be able to locate different vehicles in real time. Therefore, the person in charge of dispatching would be able to send the vehicles that are closer to where the event occurred. Your citizens would be reassured since action would be taken rapidly. Also, time would be saved for dispatch, which is essential when an emergency occurs.
Threatening Noise Detection
Your emergency services probably receive calls from citizens stating that they heard threatening noises, but when the emergency team is deployed, they discover that nothing alarming happened. On the opposite side, it can sometimes happen that no measures are taken by your emergency teams when they should have. At Dimonoff, we offer a technological solution for threatening sound detection. Microphones are positioned on street lighting poles and trained to recognize specific sounds such as gunshots, windows breaking, etc. Therefore, when such as sound is detected, emergency teams are alerted. You no longer need to wait for citizens to call in order to take action.
Image Treatment Using Video Surveillance
A lot happens in your city within one day and being aware of everything that is happening using guards is very expensive and inefficient. It’s possible to provide a video surveillance system for your streetlamps in order to detect and recognize vehicle plates. With that, if a vehicle often drives around the same place within a certain amount of time, a signal can be sent to your emergency teams and action can be taken. Again, this reduces the number of calls citizens make to public services and you are in front of the issue by offering continuous surveillance.
