Good Monday morning everyone!

Psyched to be heading to Ft. Myers today for one of my F A V O R I T E 9-1-1 gatherings, the Florida APCO Conference!

I hope you'll join me on Wednesday for an informative and collaborative conversation on the many ways in which has been introduced into 9-1-1 workflow and what the future landscape of implementation looks like for our nation's PSAPs/ECCs.

Safe travels to all attending , and I'll see you soon!

Hey Florida APCO 9-1-1 Directors, Supervisors, and Aspiring PSAP/ECC Leaders, a few questions for your consideration before our discussion this week:

Where should the line be drawn between AI assistance and 9-1-1 professional judgment in a live call?

How do you build trust in an tool when seconds matter and there's no time to double-check it?

Five years from now, what does a "normal" 9-1-1 shift look like with in the loop, and is your workforce ready for it?

Looking forward to doing a deep dive into these and many other questions on Wednesday afternoon this week. I hope you'll stop by and be a part of the conversation.

See you soon!

Absolutely looking forward to visiting with my Florida APCO 9-1-1 colleagues and friends in Ft. Myers next week.

Florida PSAP/ECC leaders, aspiring leaders, supervisors, I hope you'll attend my session and participate in a collaborative and informative conversation on how we can best address the challenges associated with guiding emergency communications through the shift.

See you next week!

Absolutely AMAZING day at Audi Field yesterday in Washington DC for the Alliance for Automotive Innovation Auto Tech Showcase. Weather was perfect, with the rain holding off until this morning. So many great demonstrations of our Intrado Safety solution through VIPER and VIPERNextGen 9-1-1 Call Handling Platforms!

Returning to the Motor City this morning for the ITS America Events Conference & Expo, where I'll be rounding out a three-event Advanced Automatic Collision Notification awareness effort, working with Automotive OEM's and Telematics Service Providers (TSPs) to further dialogue on how this incredible technology, when deployed in our nation's 9-1-1 centers, will improve and

"Wearable AI is no longer a niche category for fitness trackers and step counters. It is becoming one of the most closely watched battlegrounds in personal technology."

From smart glasses to AI-powered earbuds, companies are racing to bring artificial intelligence beyond the screen.

Last week in Novi, MI at AutoTech 2026, the conversations around connected vehicles, software-defined mobility, and crash data were a strong reminder of just how quickly this space is moving.

This week, we continue that conversation in Washington, DC at the Auto Tech Showcase. For Intrado Safety, the focus is clear: as vehicle technology advances, 9-1-1 needs to be part of the conversation. Advanced Automatic Collision Notification has the potential to get critical crash data to emergency communications centers faster, helping 9-1-1 professionals, Fire, EMS, and Law Enforcement better understand what happened, where it happened, and what kind of response may be needed.

I’m looking forward to connecting with automotive innovators, public safety partners, and policy leaders about how we move from possibility to real operational impact.

See you in DC!

Looking forward to being in Ft. Myers for the upcoming Florida APCO 2026 Annual Training Conference & Expo.

I’ll be presenting “Human in the Loop: Leading 9-1-1 Through the AI Shift”, and I’m excited to continue this national conversation with Florida’s 9-1-1 leaders.

Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to talk about with Emergency Communications leaders and frontline professionals at conferences around the country. One theme has been consistent in every room: is moving fast, and it is rapidly being deployed in PSAPs and ECCs throughout the country. That creates a real leadership challenge for our profession.

The question is not whether AI will have a role in emergency communications. It already does. The question is how we lead through it, how we keep the , how we build trust with our teams, and how we make sure these tools support the judgment, experience, and knowledge of 9-1-1 professionals rather than work around them.

This collaborative and informative session is meant to be a conversation about leadership, operations, culture, policy, and the very real decisions ECCs and PSAPs are facing right now when it comes to operationalizing AI for 9-1-1.

If you’re a 9-1-1 leader attending Florida APCO, I’d love to have you in the room and be part of the discussion.

See you in Ft. Myers.

Amazing couple of days at the AutoTech Events 2026 gathering in Novi, MI.

Yesterday, I sat in on this great presentation about "Emerging Trends in the Connected Car Ecosystem", and while the technology discussed was cool, it absolutely reinforced the importance of the work I'm a part of in the and to 9-1-1 space.

As vehicles become more data-driven, we’ve got a real opportunity to improve emergency response. That’s where Advanced Automatic Collision Notification comes in, getting crash data to 9-1-1 professionals fast, with details they can actually use.

The industry’s still early on this, and keeping public safety central to the conversation is essential. It was wonderful meeting with so many practitioners at AutoTech 2026 who share the same vision for leveraging technology to improve and

Thank you for the hospitality and great dialogue, Novi!

Kicking off almost two weeks of travel this afternoon with the first of three , , and events, Auto Tech 2026 in Novi, MI. Excited to be engaging in conversations about the positive impact Advanced Automatic Collision Notification will have on emergency response, by delivering post-crash data in real-time to 9-1-1 professionals at our nation's PSAPs/ECCs. The end result: public safety partners on scene, with better information, ultimately improving and

Emergency communications centers are already receiving still images, pre-recorded video, and streaming media as part of active 9-1-1 calls. That capability is valuable. It is also a vulnerability.

Not all imagery is what it appears to be.

Believable AI Imagery (BAI) does not look like a viral deepfake. It looks like a fender-bender. A structure fire. A downed power line. Ordinary, context-compatible, and entirely plausible to a dispatcher managing multiple, rapidly evolving incidents. That is precisely what makes it dangerous.

Two technologies are emerging as a foundation for Incident Related Imagery ( ) verification in the PSAP:

Google's SynthID embeds an imperceptible watermark directly into AI-generated image pixels during the creation process. Unlike metadata, it survives compression, cropping, and screenshots.

C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) creates a cryptographic chain of custody, a digital record of where an image originated, what device captured it, and every edit made since.

Used together, these tools can power a real-time provenance trust layer inside 9-1-1 platforms. Not a forensic workflow that delays dispatch. A simple, automated signal that tells the telecommunicator: this image checks out, or this image warrants scrutiny.

, not human-as-last-resort.

The 9-1-1 community has always adapted to new threat vectors. This is the next one. The question is whether our platforms and standards will be ready before bad actors test the gap.
