Mark43, a leading cloud-based public safety software company, and Winner in the 2019 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, has been down-selected to serve as the new technology partner for the New South Wales Police Force (NSWPF) in Australia, in partnership with local provider Unisys Australia.
The tech provider of choice for over 70 leading public safety agencies in North America, Mark43 will now become the first American single-platform Records Management System (RMS) and Computer Aided Dispatch System (CAD) provider to break into the Australian market.
NSWPF is one of the largest police organizations in the English-speaking world, which also includes the New York Police Department (NYPD), and the London Metropolitan Police Department (MPS).
Approximately 17,000 NSWPF users will be leveraging Mark43’s innovative technology to bring unprecedented efficiency and ease of use to day-to-day operations.
Mark43 provides a refreshing, battle-tested, enterprise implementation experience and product for any agency, with a special competency for major agencies.
(Mark43 was created in the cloud — adhering to CJIS and SOC 2 security standards, reducing costs, and scaling to serve agencies big or small. The company’s unique multi-tenant cloud architecture ensures accurate information is shared easily, securely, and immediately across single and multi-jurisdictional environments.

Powerfully Simple. Purposefully Smart.
Mark43‘s core software applications for dispatch, records, and analytics — and any additional software and hardware at your agency — are supported and connected by a set of platform-wide tools purposefully designed to break down information silos and optimize interoperability.
MARK43 RMS
With the Mark43 RMS, NSWPF frontline, supervisors, investigators, and command staff will spend more time doing their real job and less time writing, searching, and checking reports.
Streamlined Data Collection
Mark43 RMS is optimized to allow patrol officers to quickly and accurately capture incident information so records admins and analysts can focus on putting that data to work.
-
Dynamic fields display only when contextually relevant
-
Active error detection eliminates time-consuming revisions and duplicate records
-
Automatic NIBRS/UCR code mapping simplifies required stat reporting
Information At Your Fingertips
Mark43 RMS makes entity data rapidly searchable and easily scannable, empowering departments to make informed decisions and effectively allocate resources.
-
Comprehensive entity profiles display pertinent cautions and allow users to drill into detailed report history, biographical, and personal network information
-
Multi-input and fuzzy match search filters enable situational awareness without complicated syntax
-
Saved searches recall commonly used queries for future

Eliminate Information Silos
While most departments struggle to keep track of incident data in multiple systems and handwritten logs, Mark43 RMS finally puts everything in one place.
-
Hardware-agnostic software is adaptable for any web-enabled device in the department
-
Single-application workflows eliminate transcription and constant window switching
-
Configurable fields, barcodes, and location aliases maintain uniform records as policies change
-
Open API sends data between third-parties and Mark43 RMS
Security & Stability in the Cloud
Mark43 is the first to offer an integrated software platform built on true multi-tenant cloud architecture and the industry-leading AWS GovCloud.
This means:
-
FBI CJIS capable data storage and sharing
-
Regular software upgrades with zero downtime
-
Predictable, annual subscription pricing
-
Rapid, scalable implementation for multi-jurisdictional use
Mark43’s Records Management System (RMS) provides the most intuitive, quickest law enforcement report-writing experience possible, while Mark43 Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) is the best-designed public safety dispatch platform available.
MARK43 CAD
Mark43 CAD and Mark43 RMS leverage the data your agency already collects to keep first responders safer and better informed.
-
Bidirectional syncing pulls all related CAD event and report histories to the front of event assignments with links to dig deeper
-
Multi-level cautions visually aggregate pertinent information for immediate contextual awareness of a scene
There’s no reason for first responders to blindly enter dangerous situations when critical information about a person or location can be at their disposal.
The Mark43 CAD will also enable users to focus exclusively on the mission-critical aspects of the job by providing a logical, natural, and simple tech experience.

The Next Generation of Configuration
When every second counts, so does every click, button, and field. The configurability tools within Mark43 CAD are designed to meet today’s workflows and easily adapt to tomorrow’s new reality.
-
Syntax-friendly command line, configurable to match existing agency hotkeys, eases user training and transition to a new system
-
Unlimited workspace and queue arrangements allow call takers, dispatchers, and supervisors to toggle between application displays optimized for their role and responsibility
-
Manageable presets for multiple agencies, units, call signs, priority levels, and statuses fit how your agency communicates and works – without a vendor work order or upgrade
Mission-Critical Mapping
Fully integrated AVL mapping — at no extra cost to your agency — keeps dispatchers and units in tune and connected to the communities they protect and serve.
-
Unit and event markers intuitively animate real-time GPS data from vehicles and department issued smartphones so active responders always know what’s going on and where
-
Google-integrated map and satellite views can be layered with agency-provided hotspots and multi-jurisdictional GIS data through a shape file import wizard
With a dedicated customer support team, Mark43 provides unwavering 24/7 support to address any customer needs or questions as they arise.
Seamless Data Exchange
Mark43 CAD and Mark43 RMS are natively linked to federal, state, and local databases, so first responders don’t have to radio for help or hopelessly sift through search results in multiple applications.
-
NCIC and other inquiry results attach to CAD event information for quick and easy reference during an active incident and transfer to the RMS during subsequent report writing
-
Platform-wide search performance means hundreds of thousands to millions of results can be queried in under one second and quickly routed to appropriate parties
“Mark43 is ready to broaden its international presence, and this is just the first step,” said Matthew Polega, Mark43 Co-Founder and Head of Marketing.
“No matter their country or size, all public safety agencies deserve a premier technology partner to make a very hard job just a little easier.”
