Conclusion We live in a society that is social media involved, we receive information from a variety of uncontrolled sources such as, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snap- chat, and YouTube, all of which are potential feeds to provide additional situational awareness and perspec- tive. Incorporating these feeds, and the web based real time situational awareness command software and the departments' technology footprint with best practic- es, policies and procedures for public safety then inte- grating the layers into the day-to-day practices of Law Enforcement is the "Third Dimension" to a secured city. A Technology Partnership Budgets and needs are often at opposing ends of the financial spectrum. However, problems, many times, may be broken down into manageable pieces that can be solved if a long-term strategic view is taken. Surveil- lanceGrid Integration Inc. worked with the Hollister Police Department, the City of Hollister IT Director and City Officials to understand the complexity of man- aging and keeping a heterogeneous public event safe. Long term and near term requirements were assessed to see what the manageable pieces of a solution would look like. Working with city stakeholders the current budget environment was anticipated which allowed the development of a workable plan. Together, we designed a system that not only met the requirements of the annual Biker Rally but also served as a template that will allow the city of Hollister's Police Department to continue to integrate the latest technologies and appli- cations. The net result gave the Hollister Police Depart- ment and the City of Hollister a "Future Proof " solution and a verifiable return on their investment. ■ Request information: www.SecurityInfoWatch.com/10300750 Two Fabulous Resources Your Security Consultant Connection security NEW!
