Welcome to the Smart Public Safety Podcast where we identify and explain new technologies, systems and applications to help setup and run public safety and mission critical services.

Why? Because the public safety and communication industries are in rapid change mode shifting from push to talk radio to smart public safety apps and services. It seems each day there is a new media technology, service, acronym, or other information that is dramatically changing your organization or job.
