How Parasafe Works
Virtual barrier. Personal communications. Escalation prevention.
In our system, officers or dispatch can originate video calls with civilians, or vice versa.
Traffic Stops
With Parasafe, traffic stops happen virtually through a video call on your smartphone. Documents can be exchanged like ID, insurance, and registration, even the citation. As a result, nobody has to get out of their vehicle.
The Traffic Stop Begins
Officer enters the license plate number of the vehicle into the system on his computer.
Officer prepares to conduct interview by retrieving driver/motor-vehicle information and background knowledge.
Officer sends invite to registered owner(s) to join video call.
Contact
Driver answers the request to join.
Officer now has audio and visual contact with driver.
Call immediately begins recording and saved in our system for secure future access.
Discussion
Any documentation the officer requests, like ID, registration, insurance, is sent via the driver’s smartphone.
Violation is discussed.
Officer indicates fine and sends the citation to the driver’s smartphone.
End of Stop
The traffic stop is over.
Officer and driver carefully reenter traffic.
Crisis Reporting
Better inform authorities on potential crisis. Parasafe streams video and audio conversations in real-time with location data, enhancing communication with authorities on a potential crisis giving officers the necessary information they need to make decisions quickly and safely.
Crisis event begins to occur
Civilian witnesses a crisis taking place, like a health emergency, crime, or police officer improperly performing their duty.
Crisis & Coordinates are streamed & recorded
Civilian launches our app on their smartphone and presses the “Crisis” button, streaming video / audio to our cloud where it is recorded along with GPS coordinates.
From our cloud, the call is directed to crisis operators and / or local police dispatch.
Action is taken
The nature of the crisis is evaluated.
If necessary, a decision to respond may be raised to upper-level supervisors or emergency personnel.
Nearby police officers or EMTs are notified of the crisis, the location, and are given the right information to carry out their duties safely.
If necessary, the operator on the call can guide the civilian through tasks while receiving visual feedback.
Crisis is resolved
More accurately informing officers and civilians allows crises to be resolved without conflict, and with higher efficacy.
The interaction or crisis is stored within our system, where the entire call can be recalled for auditing or accountability.
Crisis Response
Officers and EMTs can respond instantly through our virtual communications platform, providing immediate assistance and better informing authorities for their physical arrival.
Initial Response
Crisis response is contacted about an incident and personnel/officers are notified or dispatched.
Either before, en route or after arriving, response personnel receive location and any available video/audio recordings of the initial report.
In addition to having the civilian’s location information, we track all surrounding individuals from the moment of reporting to help further assist response personnel in assessing the situation.
Groundwork
The crisis response personnel evaluate the situation via the information provided from our system. This could contain footage of the initial report, or footage of the actual incident taking place.
From the information obtained, they are now in a better position to determine what may be going on there, if there is any level of danger there, and if additional assistance is needed.
EMT – For medical emergencies
Mental health professional – For counseling/depression-related issues
Marriage counselor – For domestic disputes
Police – For crimes
Contact
A call is placed to the individual reporting the crisis.
The person answers the video/audio call to allow further communication with response personnel.
Other nearby tracked individuals are contacted in the same manner if necessary.
Discussion & Resolution
After inquiry, the response personnel can determine if the issue is resolved, or if they need to arrive/enter to provide further assistance, in the case someone was injured or something illegal occurred.
Satisfied with the report and the information provided that their safety will be intact, response personnel can approach the situation or enter a home/building knowing they are better protected and informed to make the right choices.
