Technology and how we can use it to make communities safer with Matt Polega from Mark43
Matt is the Co-founder and Head of Marketing Communications and Public Policy at Mark43.
Matt developed the earliest version of Mark43 records management system with his Co-founders as a recent college graduate and remains deeply focused on the mission of building culture edge software to support first responders and bridge the gap between the communities they serve.
Matt often shares best practise on public safety technology, ensuring agencies of all sizes understand how to navigate the digital age. He has done so as a featured blogger for Gov loop and another panellist at the Code for America summit. His leadership has lead Mark43 to be included on a notable list, including Ink Space Workplaces, Fast Company's World Changing Ideas, and America's Security Today's Homeland Security Awards.
“Community safety and law enforcement we totally recognise as a team sport. It is about a bunch of agencies working together to share information working in partnership. I'm very proud of the pace that we are moving, the ethos that we bring to building products and how we think about it and I'm proud of how many people we put on the ground it's actually learning the real problem and seeing what every person in the agency go through if we can bring some of that bigger to the market and get everybody to come to start paying attention to these problems that maybe we have half the chance.” Matt Polega
