TiPS Episode 25 0827 The IoT Emergency Call Friend? Foe? Or just Freaky?!
In this episode of TiPS: Today in Public Safety, Fletch examines the privacy minefield created by always-on sensors — from Apple Watches and Alexa to doorbell cameras and vehicle crash detection. We explore the life-saving potential, the unsettling pitfalls, and the legal challenges facing 9-1-1 centers as NG911 develops.
Topics include:
- Types of consumer and infrastructure sensors
- How these tools can save lives
- Privacy dilemmas: consent, ownership, and scope creep
- Real-world scenarios: false alarms, swatting, and lifesaving use cases
- Best practices and the future of data sharing in public safety
Whether you’re a PSAP manager, a first responder, or someone with a smart device in every room, this episode will make you reconsider what “always-on” truly means.
