Digital technology plays an ever-increasing role in delivering front line services and is now becoming a critical tool that workers rely on every day.

Season 2, Episode 3: Understanding Mobile Location Solutions in the UK
"It’s a tool, not a panacea”: mobile location solutions are key to the emergency services ability to help others; and it is an area where the types of calls, emergency or non-emergency, the technologies and the solutions associated with them, really do matter. This week we take time to explore the UK’s global leadership in AML and address the issues and opportunities associated with this and other location services.
Season 2, Episode 4: Airwave to ESN
ESN is undoubtedly one of the most talked about subject in the public safety and emergency services sector. So where are we? What does the current landscape look like? And when can we expect to see the end game? Mark Page and Andy Motteram join us from Cradlepoint to discuss. And if you’d like more information on the support that Cradlepoint can offer, please email mark.page@cradlepoint.com.
Season 2, Episode 5: Emergency Calling for All, Digital Transformation and Inclusion
Emergency calling is something that many (most?) of us take for granted. The ability to call for help when it’s needed by picking up the phone and dialling a short, well-known number is something with which we’re all familiar but what if it’s not that easy? What if the very time you need help is when communication is most difficult? Becca Hume, founder and MD of TapSOS joins Ian to explore the need and increasing availability of non-verbal emergency contact services.
