Typical challenges in police communication

Modern police work is dynamic, interconnected, and increasingly challenging. Whether dealing with terrorist threats, large-scale incidents, missing persons searches, or organized crime, today's operations require smooth and rapid coordination across all levels. But in practice, many systems are reaching their limits.

Digital radio is not sufficient
While voice transmission works, it doesn’t allow the sharing of images, videos, locations, or maps.
Consumer messengers are a risk
WhatsApp & Co. are fast, but they are not GDPR-compliant, cannot be controlled, and lack the necessary security.
Information gaps during operations
Missing media content or delayed communication can cost lives during an emergency.
IT failures and cyberattacks are on the rise
When central systems fail, there is often no secure backup for critical communication.
Coordination across multiple locations is complex
Operations management, patrols, investigation teams, and other units often work with separate tools.
Hintergrundbild Success-Story Alexander Stöbrich
„It quickly became clear that a supporting communications solution was needed for optimized operational communication. On the one hand, this had to be GDPR compliant, meet our high police security standards, and fulfill our compliance regulations. On the other hand, it had to be highly functional and easy to use.“
