WHAT WE DO
The urban public safety practice provides a future focused perspective on the security options available to planners, operators and public safety management to enable them to plan and conduct Public Safety operations. Services include audits, workshops and tabletop exercises of existing and future plans and operations, enabling an external analysis to support current and future operations. On-site consulting services provide increased capacity to update or improve existing policies and practices and remote access to oversee ongoing changes and improvements.
To date services include the Hampton Roads Region of 17 jurisdictions, making up the largest urban population in Virginia, to which Cordillera provide on-site consulting to the Public Safety City Management and their Emergency Operation Centers.
This includes audits, workshops and tabletop exercises, pre-election evaluation and workshops, support to unmanned aerial vehicle programs and the provision of a Common Operating Picture (COP). This COP is linked to communication networks design to better enable Emergency Operation Centers to share data and better coordinate beyond jurisdictional boundaries during emergencies. Additionally, public safety evaluations and workshops for events and City infrastructure have provided key evaluation and redesign services to Virginia Beach, Newport News, Aurora, Denver and elsewhere.
