Carson City, Nevada, Selects Mission Critical Partners to Support Technology Implementations for Modernized Public Safety and Justice Communications Systems

Leave a comment


  • Documenting each system’s current state
  • Development of technical specifications and request for proposals (RFP) documents for each system
  • Providing subject matter expertise to assist in the evaluation of vendor proposals to enable apples-to-apples comparisons, which is especially important as it relates to pricing

“MCP has a long history of helping clients successfully implement cutting-edge technology solutions, and we’re honored that Carson City turned to us to guide this effort,” said Darrin Reilly, MCP’s president and chief executive officer.

MCP already has completed a needs analysis, which involved meetings with stakeholders to understand their needs and frustrations better. MCP also finalized an analysis of CAD, RMS, and JMS data provided by the sheriff’s office to better inform the development of the technical specifications. Key needs include the following:

  • CAD mapping functionality that enables 911 telecommunicators to visualize the location of field responders to ensure that they dispatch the closest available response that is appropriate for the emergency incident, with the goal of shortening response times.
  • A geofencing capability integrated with the mapping solution that enables telecommunicators or incident commanders to set parameters pertaining to unit response.
  • Ability to perform wants and warrants queries, as well as vehicle registration and criminal history checks, e.g., queries of the National Crime Information Center (NCIS) database via the CAD system.
  • The seamless transport of RMS data, e.g., arrest reports, into the JMS for case initiation.
  • A mobile CAD capability that enables updates to be sent to field responders after the initial dispatch and supports field-based reporting to enhance situational awareness and improve efficiency
  • Enhanced mug shot capability in the RMS and JMS
  • Ability to automatically capture and update mug shots and demographic and biometric information, e.g., fingerprints, when arrestees are processed, a manual process today.
  • Ability to capture and update prisoner health records, including mental-health records, in the JMS without using a third party.
  • Enhanced ability of supervisors to query the RMS to determine the status of cases and to expunge, seal, or redact records, which currently is a manual process.

This project phase began in April and is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter 2024.

“We’re so thankful that we’re working with MCP,” said Sheriff Ken Furlong. “The RFP process is critical and complex, and we really appreciate their expertise.”

University of San Diego Partners with AiFi to Open Autonomous Convenience Store On Campus

BURLINGAME, Calif., Aug. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Students and staff can shop the “Smart Market” by scanning an app to enter, picking up desired food and drink items, and walking out, while AiFi’s technology instantly charges and generates a receipt for the purchase

AiFi, the most flexible AI platform that enables retailers to affordably deploy autonomous shopping solutions, today announced its partnership with the University of San Diego to provide frictionless shopping options to students, staff members, and guests on campus. AiFi retrofitted the university’s existing Smart Market with its camera vision-based technology, allowing students to select which food and drink items they’d like to purchase and walk out without waiting in line or scanning to pay.

The mini convenience store, located within the Knauss Center for Business Education, features entry by scanning a dedicated store app. Items available for purchase include hot and refrigerated prepared meals, coffee and kombucha on tap, as well as packaged snacks and beverages.

“As AiFi continues to expand into more unique spaces, we’re excited to provide the University of San Diego community with more convenient shopping options and an enhanced experience,”said Steve Carlin, CEO at AiFi. “Fast moving and low contact checkout are exactly what college students, professors, and staff members need. As universities embrace more tech-forward solutions to drive their own digital transformation, we’re pleased to partner with them in the direction of innovation.”

In 2022, AiFi deployed autonomous shopping at the University of Denver campus, where students reported satisfaction with not having to wait in line or interact with cashiers. Students and faculty are often rushed between classes, activities, and other priorities, and AiFi is determined to increase its presence in the university market to meet the needs of shoppers on the go.

“The University of San Diego is constantly looking for new innovative ways to improve efficiencies and provide more services to campus, and frictionless dining is perfect for our community”, said Andre Mallie, Assistant Vice President, Auxiliary Services & Resource Management, at the University of San Diego. “We were impressed with the flexibility of AiFi’s solution and the ability to seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure in the store. Now, folks coming through the Knauss Center for Business Education won’t be burdened by long lines or wait times, and we’re excited for the future of this technology at our campus.”

The implementation of AiFi’s technology follows suit to the University of San Diego’s consistent efforts to make dining easier on campus through technology. A few years ago, the university introduced GET by CBORD, a mobile app allowing students to order, pay, and schedule a time to pick up food from any dining facility on campus. Additionally, the university partnered with GrubHub three years ago, allowing students to use university campus cash funds for food delivery from nearby restaurants.

AiFi currently has the highest number of autonomous store deployments globally. The company has served over 3.5 million customers, and processed over 10 million transactions with its solution. Other industry-leading partnerships include global customers such as Microsoft, Verizon, ALDI, Carrefour, Zabka, Compass Group, Morrisons, Sodexo, Live Nation, NASCAR, the NBA, and the NFL. Learn more about AiFi and its scalable, flexible AI platform at aifi.com.

EMA Webinar to Explore How Enterprises Can Use Operation Technology (OT)-Dedicated Firewalls and Zero Trust Network Access to Protect OT Systems from Malicious Actors

Leave a comment


By the end of 2023, 83% of enterprises expect to connect OT and IoT devices to their enterprise networks

LAFAYETTE, Colo., Aug. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management research and consulting firm, today announced it will host a research webinar titled “Challenges and Best Practices for Securing Modern Operational Technology Networks” featuring Shamus McGillicuddy, vice president of research covering network management at EMA, and Tim Roddy, vice president of marketing at Open Systems.

Operational technology is made of hardware and software that controls and monitors physical processes in an enterprise. Traditionally, enterprises secured OT systems, such as industrial control systems, medical devices, and retail point of sales systems, via air gapping or by physically isolating them from IT networks. With the rise of smart devices and the Internet of Things (IoT), air gaps no longer work. By the end of 2023, 83% of enterprises expect to connect OT and IoT devices to their enterprise networks, according to EMA research. IT and OT are converging so that enterprises can analyze OT data, innovate, and optimize industrial systems. A new approach to OT security is required.

Enterprises need to modernize network architecture to protect these critical assets, especially by updating their network security and modernizing their approach to network segmentation. During this webinar, McGillicuddy and Roddy will discuss:

  • Why legacy approaches to securing operational technology are failing
  • How organizations should update their network security and network access controls to protect this critical infrastructure
  • How a SASE solution can support a smart OT security strategy

The webinar is Thursday, September 7 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern. Registration is available at: https://info.enterprisemanagement.com/securing-modern-operational-techn-networks-webinar-pr
