SUBJECT: Consideration of High Profile Solicitation for Release
DATE: June 18, 2019
Public Safety Notification System (SAPD) - The San Antonio Police Department is soliciting proposals for the procurement and implementation of a public safety notification system. The desired outcome from this solicitation is to purchase and implement a configurable automated system that will allow residents to opt into an email and text notification program with SAPD. This automated system will provide residents with an opportunity to be notified of a change in case status from SAPD. This project poses to increase post-incident engagement with residents whom SAPD interacts with during calls for service. It is anticipated that SAPD will see a reduction in call volume for call takers related to residents’ inquiring about updates to their cases. This new program will improve the SAPD’s quality and efficiency of communication with the City’s residents.
