Philadelphia police department selects NICE Systems for upgraded 911 system

The Philadelphia Police Department, the fourth-largest metropolitan department in the country, announced selection of Ra’anana, Israel-based NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) to handle emergency communications distribution, capture and analysis as part of a complete overhaul of its thirty-year old 911 center. The Philadelphia PD is the main public safety answering point for the city, and handles about 3.3 million police, fire and EMS calls per year. State law requires that the system capture all emergency communications for analysis and event reconstruction.

The NICE System will include trunked radio capture, tools for communication delivery, and scenario replay software for reconstructing events and deriving insight from both 911 and radio communications after the fact.
