Motorola Solutions Expands AI Capabilities to Revolutionize Public Safety Workflow
CHICAGO, May 13, 2025 — Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) has kicked off its annual Summit 2025 conference, unveiling an exciting new expansion of its Assist platform. Designed to empower public safety professionals, Assist now extends its Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities across multiple roles, from dispatchers to investigators, streamlining workflows and improving efficiency within public safety agencies.
A game-changer for the industry, Motorola Solutions announced it will offer all public safety agencies a complimentary starter edition of Assist Chat. This AI-powered chat assistant, fully compliant with the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) standards, connects agency personnel to critical data, procedures, and case histories—via a secure and conversational interface.
Mahesh Saptharishi, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Motorola Solutions, passionately stated, "With Assist Chat, we are breaking down the barriers to data accessibility. Any staff member—whether they’re on the front lines or in a back-office role—can now securely engage with their agency’s data. This marks a significant leap in making workflows more efficient and ensuring data accuracy, no matter the task at hand."
A New Era in Data-Driven Decision Making
Public safety answering points (PSAPs) across the United States already rely on Motorola Solutions' cutting-edge 911 command center software to enhance emergency response times. This includes leveraging Assist for call transcription, translation services, and speeding up non-emergency call resolution. Now, these capabilities will be integrated into computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and records software, allowing seamless coordination and faster responses during emergencies.
Assist Chat goes beyond simple data retrieval; it helps dispatchers analyze real-time radio transcripts and metadata. For instance, when responding to a "car crash," the system can instantly pre-populate an incident report, suggesting actions like dispatching an ambulance. This integration of real-time data allows agencies to accelerate decision-making processes in the heat of an emergency.
In records management, AI features aid officers by proofreading their incident narratives, ensuring accuracy by cross-referencing against video footage, radio audio, and CAD data. Crime analysts and investigators can even trace the historical movements of vehicles involved in crimes, all within a secure, CJIS-compliant environment.
"Assist has been a game-changer for us," said JC Meyer, Manager of Technology Services at the Department of Public Safety in Lee County, Florida. "It automates the repetitive tasks that often take up our time, and ensures our team can act quickly in the most critical moments. The real-time assistance and AI-powered suggestions have been invaluable in handling emergencies with more precision."
The Heartbeat of Public Safety
"AI is not just an add-on to our solutions; it’s the backbone," Saptharishi explained. "Assist is like the central nervous system of our software, proactively supporting every user with role-specific information, tailored to the task, location, and time. As agencies add more data streams, the AI becomes even smarter, enhancing both the speed and reliability of responses."
With Assist Chat, Motorola Solutions is revolutionizing how public safety agencies interact with data. By connecting users to a comprehensive, secure knowledge base, agencies can quickly retrieve key information, including case histories, evidence data, videos, and images—all from within a single platform. This integration ensures that critical insights are available to officers, investigators, and dispatchers exactly when they need them, helping agencies stay ahead of emerging challenges and improving overall response times.
A Vision for the Future
Assist Chat also helps agencies identify gaps or opportunities for improvement in their policies by analyzing the most frequent queries from personnel and tracking changes in industry standards. This proactive approach to data management further elevates an agency's ability to adapt and improve its services.
"The sheer volume of data available to first responders can overwhelm even the most experienced personnel," Saptharishi said. "Assist Chat bridges that gap, transforming raw data into actionable insights, and making critical information readily available when it’s needed most."
Empowering the Industry with AI and Cloud Technologies
Summit 2025 serves as a vital platform for over 400 hours of technology leadership and training. Attendees will get firsthand experience with Assist Chat, testing its capabilities in real-world scenarios. As cloud and AI technologies continue to shape the future of emergency response, this event marks a significant milestone in the transformation of public safety operations.
As Saptharishi concluded, "We’re on the verge of a new era in emergency response, where technology doesn’t just support our first responders, it anticipates their needs, helping them serve communities more effectively than ever before."
