Abstract
Methods and systems to increase protection of personnel during K9 deployments include receiving contextual and situational data from mobile devices associated with a plurality of officers at a scene, a mobile device associated with a K9 handler at the scene, and a device associated with a K9 at the scene, wherein each of the mobile devices and the device are communicatively coupled to one or more networks; determining safety conditions of each of the plurality of officers based on the contextual and situational data; and notifying any of the plurality of officers and the K9 handler via the associated mobile devices of unsafe conditions based on the determining.
Claims20
A method to increase protection of personnel during K9 deployments, comprising:
- receiving contextual and situational data from mobile devices associated with a plurality of officers at a scene, a mobile device associated with a K9 handler at the scene, and a device associated with a K9 at the scene, wherein each of the mobile devices and the device are communicatively coupled to one or more networks;
- determining whether each of the plurality of officers is in a safe condition based on the contextual and situational data;
- and
- in response to determining that any of the plurality of officers is not in a safe condition, notifying the officer and the K9 handler, via associated mobile devices, of unsafe conditions.
A server, comprising:
- a network interface, a data store, and a processor, each communicatively coupled therebetween;
- and
- memory configured to store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- receive, via the network interface, contextual and situational data from mobile devices associated with a plurality of officers at a scene, a mobile device associated with a K9 handler at the scene, and a device associated with a K9 at the scene, wherein each of the mobile devices and the device are communicatively coupled to the network interface through one or more networks;
- determine whether each of the plurality of officers is in a safe condition based on the contextual and situational data;
- and
- in response to determining that any of the plurality of officers is not in a safe condition, notify the officer and the K9 handler, via the associated mobile devices, of unsafe conditions.
A public safety network, comprising:
- a plurality of mobile devices each associated with an officer;
- a K9 handler mobile device;
- a harness or collar disposed to a K9;
- a server communicatively coupled to the plurality of mobile devices, the K9 handler mobile device, the harness and/or collar, and a vehicle modem;
- wherein the server is configured to:
- notify any of the plurality of mobile devices of an unsafe condition and associated details relative to the K9;
- and
- notify the K9 handler mobile device of any of the plurality of mobile devices being in the unsafe condition when about to release the K9 or after such that the K9 is recalled, wherein the unsafe condition is based on situational and contextual data provided to the server by the plurality of mobile devices, the K9 handler mobile device, and the harness or collar.
