We believe the power of great design can make the world safer. 911 call takers, dispatchers, and first responders have some of the toughest jobs in the world- on a normal day. Their jobs are only growing more complex as agencies face global pandemics, searing wildfires, and deteriorating trust with the communities they serve. The UX team at Motorola Solutions is re-imagining how public safety works.

Description

In this talk, we will explore the unique challenges of designing for public safety- the people, goals, contexts and environments that make up the public safety journey. We'll discuss strategies for how we design for these unique challenges- how we continuously learn, ideate, and measure to create new and better outcomes public safety organizations and the public they serve.
