At Adventos, we couldn’t help but notice that there are many dramatic – and important – shifts that are happening in public safety. These are changes both in terms of how work is done and the impact that it is having on our communities.
Public Safety Organizations are becoming increasingly transparent to the community, allowing them to be more flexible in terms of the invaluable services and attention they provide. At the same time, work is increasingly virtual – it’s occurring anywhere, at any time, thanks to the power of smartphones and other mobile devices.
Adventos believes deeply in helping not one thousand people, not one million people, but one billion people through improved public safety and by harnessing both the power of people and the power of software at the exact same time. This is a large part of the reason why we believe that human collaboration through technology isn’t just important today, but will grow even more pressing in the not-too-distant future.
The Shape of Things to Come
As more and more millennials enter the public safety workforce, talent will need to engage on an aligned purpose – no longer just on hierarchy. Social and external collaborations are poised to make leadership more horizontal, shared and (most importantly) collective. Boundary-less work partnerships need to exist and networks will augment capabilities and redefine how agencies achieve success in crime reduction.
Just as importantly, analytics, algorithms, big data and artificial intelligence will create new work at the intersection between humans and automation. Menial tasks previously performed by humans will be abolished, freeing up their valuable time so that they can do more of what they do best – keeping our communities as safe as possible.
At Adventos, this is the future we believe in and it is the one that we are working hard to help create in any way that we can.
