Welcome to The CitySafe Podcast with Don Carr and Jim Cords. In this episode, we dive into the high-stakes world of 911 dispatch centers and explore how artificial intelligence is transforming emergency response.

From real-time transcription to emotional stress detection and intelligent triage, AI is giving dispatchers powerful tools to act faster and more precisely—even when every second counts. We unpack three breakthrough technologies already reshaping the field and spotlight a case study from Riverside, California, where AI-enhanced dispatch led to faster responses and fewer false alarms.

But with great promise comes real concern: bias, privacy, and the critical need for human oversight. Join us as we examine both the potential and the pitfalls of AI in public safety.

In the debut episode of The CitySafe Podcast, hosts Don Carr and Jim Cords tackle the $114 billion problem of retail theft. They explore how Safe Scope—a real-time mobile incident platform powered by Feature Match—is helping law enforcement, retailers, and communities take action. It’s not just about tech—it’s about empowering people to make smarter, faster safety decisions.

This week on the CitySafe Podcast, Don Carr sits down with co-host Jim Cords, retired Federal Law Enforcement, for an unflinching conversation about how the retailer and law enforcement relationship has changed in the last five years.

From the eighteen-month case that got away, to the fourteen-incident pattern file that closed in under a year, Jim walks through what actually broke the old loop, what the 2024 RILA-IACP partnership is really about, and what every AP leader should carry into RAP 2026 in Phoenix this week.

No spin. No product. Just the institutional read from both sides of the seam.

For twenty years, retailers asked when law enforcement was going to show up.

In 2026, law enforcement is asking when retailers are going to bring something worth showing up for.

This week on The CitySafe Podcast, Jim Cords and Don Carr get into what actually changed, where friction still lives, and what AP leaders should carry into Phoenix this week.
