Portals are easy.
Portals are shiny.
Portals demo well.
And that’s exactly why PSAPs are drowning in them.
In this episode of TiPS: Today in Public Safety, we tackle a growing operational problem hiding in plain sight: dashboard overload. CAD portals. Mapping portals. Video portals. IoT portals. ALPR portals. Building data portals. Vendor portal number seventeen.
Individually, each system promises better situational awareness. Collectively, they create fragmentation, cognitive overload, and workflow chaos.
This episode is not anti-technology. It’s anti-fragmentation.
We dig into:
Why portals are so tempting for vendors and agencies
How humans have quietly become the integration layer inside the PSAP
Why dashboard fatigue is no longer an inconvenience, but a safety issue
The difference between presenting data and orchestrating it
Why “just one more dashboard” is not a modernization strategy
NG911 isn’t about showing more data.
It’s about delivering the right data, to the right person, at the right time, without making them hunt for it.
