JEFFERSON CITY – Residents of Cole County now have a way to provide
more information to first responders before an emergency happens.
The app, Smart911, allows people to create a “safety profile,” so
when they call 911 their information will be readily available to
emergency services.
According to an April report from the Missouri Department of Public
Safety, 70 percent of 911 calls are made from a cell phone. The report
said counties often can’t locate calls made from cell phones because of
the cost involved.
Bill Farr, the Emergency Management Director for Cole County, said this program will help those odds.

WAUKESHA, Wis. —
The Waukesha County Communications Center is issuing a warning after receiving more than 2,000 inadvertent 911 calls last month.

Mark43 Integrates CAD, RMS Data into COPLINK
Mark43 a cloud-based public safety software provider, partnered with Forensic Logic, a provider of search technology and cloud-based information capabilities to law enforcement. The partnership will waive any integration or setup fees for the companies’ mutual customers to allow agencies to feed standard data from Mark43’s CAD and records management system (RMS) into Forensic Logic’s COPLINK X, a national search engine and analysis platform.
By integrating the two systems, the companies said they are making data easily accessible for public-safety officers. Mark43’s RMS allows for efficient report writing and case investigation management in the cloud, while the CAD seamlessly aggregates and displays data during emergency response. Forensic Logic’s search technology normalizes the disparate universe of law-enforcement data types and continuously optimizes its ranking algorithms to allow its users to quickly and easily access vital information.
Mark43 has already fed data into COPLINK, a data sharing product that Forensic Logic acquired in 2017. Forensic Logic will also connect a link analysis tool to Mark43’s data lake to provide a solution for intelligence units.
“We look forward to working with Forensic Logic to bring mission-critical visibility to law-enforcement processes,” said Florian Mayr, co-founder of Mark43. “By feeding Mark43’s data into COPLINK X through a seamless out-of-the-box integration, we’re providing our users with an easy solution to have all of the information that they need right at their fingertips.”
The offer will be valid through June 30, 2020, because this is a fiscal boundary for many agencies, and there is an option to extend.
