A SOLUTION FOR CITY LEADERS​​

THE SITUATION:

U.S. Cities are suffering from a police staffing shortage

THE SOLUTION:

AEGIS Response Team provides alternative police services by responding to low priority 911 calls under the aegis of city police departments ​

With AEGIS Response Team, understaffed police departments can continue to deliver outstanding results with fewer uniformed officers​​​​

How AEGIS Does It

Benefits for Police Departments

  • Thousands of hours of uniformed police officer time redirected to higher priority police work which leads to an overall reduction in 911 response times​

  • No need to send a highly trained, armed police officer in an expensively equipped vehicle to tedious, low-priority calls​

  • Solves a portion of the police officer staffing and recruiting gap​​

Benefits for Citizens and the Community

  • Faster response time/less time waiting on the side of the road​

  • Traffic accident scenes are cleared more quickly with traffic moving again faster​

  • Enhanced customer service experience for citizens, leading to improved public perception of police department and city services​
